FCC indecently declares Bono not indecent.
The FCC today ruled that Bono’s utterance of the f-word did not run afoul of their indecency rules. In their ruling they stated:
“The word ‘f—ing’ may be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities.”
“Excretory organs or activities?” That’s so clinical and utterly descriptive it makes me glad that we have a term like “butt fucking” to tone it down a bit. You guys think you have it tough now. Just imagine how difficult it would be to try to talk a woman into “excretory organ sex.”
If you ask me, “excretory organs or activities” is much more offensive than Bono’s, “this is really, really fucking brilliant.” And by a long shot! Hell, the Irish use “fucking” as a comma.
Maybe I’ll file a complaint with the FCC charging that their ruling is indecent. I don’t wouldn’t want my kids hearing about “excretory organs or activities” - that is, if I had kids.
