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."

CA must be on easy street

what a fucking waste of time

You missed the point. Here, let me fix it for you,

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."

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.

Fuck you, asshole

Governor walks over to the swear jar and puts in a $100. Apparently it's going to be a long night.
