Vulgarity and horrible language are a form of violence and terror. As the author said, even when you stick to clean programming - I love ME tv - you have to it through disgusting commercials.
I watched a bio of Marvin Hamlisch very late last night and then switched to TV to something very boring so that I could fall asleep. I woke up this AM to Melissa (?) Curry advertising on HLN a show called “Cook My A** Off”. I couldn’t believe it. They actually have a show on HLN that uses a crude word in its title. I guess that’s why I never watch HLN.
Depends on what one defines as vulgarity. Open vulgarity or coded vulgarity ie innuendo/double meaning.
I like the comment of legendary British comic actor Kenneth Williams who referred to ‘healthy vulgarity’, a form of comedy which is based on innuendo and its the listener who makes the rude connection, not the comic. Rude, naughty without being open and crude.
