6. Bollocks to that, the fecking English swear more.

Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 10:18 PM by mwooldri

It's just the guys at AP were American and didn't understand the language because they were swearing in local English rather than standard English.

I mean, we have tits and cocks on network TV of the evening and people rarely complain. Indeed, viewing figures go up. The new network TV entrant resorts to putting on soft porn late at night to get audience figures.

Besides the British have more words for having sex than the Americans do.

Mark.

PS: point in mind - anyone here actually doesn't know what Bollocks mean? A radio 'shock jock' in the early 90's phoned up the lost property offices of JFK, LAX and Chicago O'Hare airports and stated that he had lost his bollocks and if anyone had handed them in. The results were hilarious.

Mark.

12. The AP has obviously never been to Australia

Granted, the US is a pretty darned profane country, goshdarn it, but it's not the only one and may not be as much a leader in this respect as some would like to think...

23. And I'm sure that 25 years ago

The level of profanity was higher than it had been 25 years prior. Nothing unexpected really. :shrug: :-)

25. You're correct...

Look at the controversy of "Gone with the Wind" for saying, "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" in 1939.

Banned in Boston for that.

27. and look at now...

According to Sen. Rich Santorum, Boston is the liberal cesspool of America that has caused Catholic priests to have sex with young boys. A long way from banning a movie for saying "Damn"
