The characters could barely get through one sentence without dropping an f-bomb. I work with both computers and attorneys, so I've dropped a few myself, but I've been known to get through a whole day without even one.

It's not prudery to be offended by constant profanity, whether or not there are children present. It's common decency. You should try it.

"America, F** Yeah!" is less of a song than "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall." At leat THAT's got a tune.

Steve: You wanted to see who was promoting that filth. Here one is.

My reply to your impertinent post: Go fly a kite.

I do not 'promote' anything. I do, however, occasionally feel incumbent to (verbally) abuse busy bodies....

P.S. I do not use 'f-bombs' at work or anywhere else for that matter. Yes, the first time I figured out what that song was saying, I winced. Then I just laughed with that delicious edge of listening to something that wasn't proper. And that is the very source of humor itself.

You need to learn to discern the difference between rudeness (ie. telling someone to go **** themselves, versus humor (like the song you cite), which is hilarious when you think about it.

Sorry if I have overloaded your neurons - I know it'll probably fly wayyyyy over your head, but, hey, I tried....

You are probably one of the people who picketed movie theaters that were showing Monty Python's "Life of Brian" in 1979, without having a CLUE that Jesus (whose Sermon on the Mount opens the film) is the ONLY FIGURE IN THE ENTIRE FILM WHO IS SHOWN REVERENTIALLY.

Brian (of course) is mistaken for the Messiah by a few nutcases (due to the fact he was born a few doors down from Jesus), and the resulting slapstick (which is really modern-day satire using Biblical times as the setting) is unquestionably the funniest 'religious' story ever put on film. But only someone who had never seen the film would think that it was anti-Christian.

I HIGHLY recommend that you give it a viewing - if you have not seen it already. (Oh, and there is FAR less "language", so your precious ears won't burn up too much.....)
