What is even stupider is that it is the actual letters of the words that people find offensive. I can write out sh*t, and everyone knows the word and its meaning. If you take out one of the letters, the word is acceptable. Similarly, you get the first and last sound in T.V. and radio when the word is "bleeped."
Is this all because the actual letters that form the word are evil, or that we have a stupid double standard regarding social mores?
Hey, has anyone ever noticed that when "Goddamn" is bleeped, only the "God" part is bleeped and not the "damn?" Is "God" a bad word?
