Again? See George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" sketch from, what, 30 years ago?

I'm conflicted on using the law this way. I prefer to have control over when and how I (and now, my kids) am exposed to coarse language [ I'm okay with most coarse language, in principle, but there are inappropriate times and settings ]. I suppose I'd rather let the marketplace settle this. If one doesn't like the langauge emanating from the teevee, turn the channel, or better yet, turn it off.

Saw Carlin "live" YEARS AGO and he did this monologue. I hardly found it offensive. By the end of his show, I was crying because my side hurt from laughing so hard.

I didn't have my kids with me because they can't differentiate between humor and offensive language.....like the recent statement...."You remember Ghandi....How ANYONE could consider it humorous, I'll never know.
