It is my understanding that these words have been used on TV and radio for quite some time now. I don't watch much TV but I did watch The Sopranos and the "F" word was used about five times a minute. I don't think any one word is off limits anymore.

Cable TV is one thing, but network television hadn't allowed certain words. That is until this season.

Cable is a subscribed service where the use of the public airways is not....

Sigh....although control by the FCC in recent years has been ebbing under the pressure that the airwave broadcasters are losing the ratings battle to the subscribed networks....

The Sopranos are a cable only series. HBO, I think, since I won't pay for their filth.
