California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week
shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."
Fuck that.
In other news, astrophysicists have announced that they now know what all that dark matter is: it's stupidity.
Give me your clothes.

Well, that sure beats the shit out of raising taxes!
Do ya have to use so many cuss words?
They can appeal to the Moral "Majority" by saying "Hey! Let's not swear for a week, and we'll set up a swear jar too!" but really what they're saying is "Hey, you cocksucker motherfuckers! We fucking know you can't control your goddamn language you bastards, so cough up some fucking dough!" Great way to get some money in CA's coffers. They are struggling, and with all the filthy language that flies around that very liberal patch of land, this could very well lead to serious revenue.
Yes, I'm being facetious.
Frequently I like to embrace the role models in our government and
use word placement to make a point. Arnold did this, and it was
clear what his intentions were. I applaud our government for
keeping their promises on this critical piece of legislation.
Year after year tax payer money gets thrown away on
one stupid idea after another. Unless we can educated the
uneducated, these movie stars will continue to rule.
America needs leadership that can dedicate a week to getting
results. A week just to stop swearing at each other, that is
not even a good start. We need a week away from faith in
our markets to fix everything. We need a week of using
logic to solve problems. We need to vote third party, the
democrats and republics are colluding, but they call it compromise.
No fucking shit. Especially since this forsaken shithole is practically broke because of these dim witted bitches and their cock-biting agendas.
On a related note, the Facebook response is a group called "Fuck Week." I didn't join, but I was quite amused.
Next they'll make a law that states people have the right to not be offended on the Internet.
California? As in:
"For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
Unnecessary bills come to me for consideration. Water reform, prison reform, and health
Care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just
Kicks the can down the alley.
Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians
Overwhelmingly deserve. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is
Unnecessary to sign this measure at this time."
" Fortunately, the measure only for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply.""
Governors office:
Scene: Two aides about to get chewed out.
Governor walks over to the swear jar and puts in a $100. Apparently it's going to be a long night.

Give them at ticket every time they swear, and at least they'll have something to wipe their ass with!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Tits? seriously? Piss doesn't seem like a swear word anymore either.
RIP George, you dead fucker.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
Maybe even all but one of the posts will contain cuss-words.
Not this one. Belgium.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.

The Governator responded with his catchphrase, "Fuck you asshole," which previously he only used in his R-rated movies. He then added, "You are one ugly motherfucker."
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
I don't think I've ever said this before, but this actually makes me embarrassed to be a Californian.

Half the words in the dictionary can "cause offense and hurt feelings or other psychological harm", if used the right way.
The other half can "cause offense and hurt feelings or other psychological harm" if used in the wrong way.
Anything can be found funny, from a certain point of view.
Fsck swearing... I want to hear them go a whole month (or even an hour) without saying any word starting with the letter 's' or something creative like that. The person that breaks the rule the most gets to sit on one of those seats over a tub of water that you throw tennis balls at a target and if you hit it dumps them in. Or even better, a bucket of slime over everyone's head that gets poured on them whenever they say "I don't know".
