Remember comedian George Carlin's list of the seven dirty words you
can't
say on television?

It just got a little shorter.


So, how short IS the list now...

I've heard at least 2 of them on national TV in 'family hours'.

"****" has been heard a few times, but the only one I can think of I'm
not sure of. War Games? Anyone know of other places?

And "teats" all over the place. Just recently in a broadcast of 'Witness'
with Harrison Ford in the barn with the Amish farmer...

NYPD Blue, Andy Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) was watching a topless dancer
and told her, "A+ in the tit department."

Same show, last season, virtually every regular cast member uttered,
"bull****," sometime during the year.

I guess C, CS, and MF are the only ones left.

well, I don't know why MF is not allowed if the FCC ruled
that it was okay for Bono of U2 to say "****" on television.

Yea, i've been noticing more and more old movies that at one time had
certain words or phrases either blanked out or replaced by more "family
oriented" ones (I prefer not to be insulted myself and just head about a
quarter
of a second of diead air, it's less condescending) are now just letting the
words
go by.

New shows are taking advantage, too. I don't write the names down of shows
that
use these words, as i have better things to do, but for quite while you can
hear
the phrase "kick ass", "****ed off", etc.
