Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent

The Parents Television Council says the "$#*!" in the title of the upcoming CBS show $#*! my dad says is indecent. From the article: "'CBS intentionally chose to insert an expletive into the actual name of a show, and, despite its claim that the word will be bleeped, it is just CBS's latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public,' declared PTC President Tim Winter. 'There are an infinite number of alternatives that CBS could have chosen, but its desire to shock and offend is crystal clear in this decision.'" By this logic Qbert was the filthiest game ever made.

      I don't understand. What does the Parents Television Council have against children learning Perl?

    Just call the show "2 Girls 1 Cup". No one could say that name is indecent.

    The rest of it might be a trainwreck, but it's off to a great start.

    It stars Shatner and it might be a trainwreck?

    You mean it stars $#4!ner.

    In Britain "$#4!" is a colloquial past tense of "to $#*!" as in "he $#4! his pants".

    I feel bad for you. My grandfather was fucking awesome and would occasionally even use fancy curse words like 'shitass' and 'fuckered' around us grandkids.

    Note: He was a sailor in WW2.
