It’s almost funny. Today Russia is emerging as the moral nation while the US falls into the deepest pits of immorality, debauchery and corruption.

There was a day when we believed in this. Now...every four letter word is okay as long as it doesn’t modify the “N” word or some gay transvestite or whatever they are.

Has anyone asked Quentin Tarantino how he feels about this?

Not amazingly controversial, as much as it might seem that way to us today. Remember back when you couldn’t show toilets on TV? This is pretty mild.

A law like that in the US would shut down the American entertainment industry overnight.

Actually, if we wouldn’t watch the shows on tv or go the the movies...the market would turn around.

I really don’t want the government regulating anymore than it already does.

Profanity control isn’t about profanity...

It’s like vodka. You can make it illegal, but you can’t make it unpopular.
