As evidenced by the hundreds of millions in fines assessed against

We are, I think, talking about today. Most of what Stern did when on
terrestrial radio would likely get the FCC in a uproar today; stations
are fined when celebrities who are totally out of a network's control
utter cuss words.


"Cuss words" are not prohibited. Words that describe sexual or
excretory functions in an offensive manner are the only words prohibited
(with the usual "fire in a crowded theater" exception).
