After the watershed

I was just listening to the radio and that new Nicklebac song, 'rockstar' came on. I notice they have cut out the word 'ass'. to the best of my knowledge ass isnt realy a swear word is it?

But it got me thinking. I was listening to the cast comentry on one of my Two pints DVD's the other day, and they said that they could only use the F word once per episode. Why is this? It doesnt become more offensive the more time it's heard does it? It's ok to swear once, but more than that is bad?

I always understood anything was ok after the watershed, if not then why is the watershed in place? So many times i have seen Jonathon Ross bleeped on his chat show, but at the time of night it goes out why?

I have a couple of swear words in my @Boy named shoe' script. Will this go against me?

I believe the clean version of Rockstar was recorded then it was bleeped out before radio stations get hold of it.

But yes I have to agree it's annoying sometimes.

yeah they also cut "drug" out of that song!

How did you learn that word SBF!?

I heard it in a brothel Rolling eyes

I think it was a self-imposed limit by Susan Nickson, and one per series, not per episode.

Sarcasm, that's something the whole family can enjoy...

After the divorce.

The internet is too difficult to distinguish emotions by-like I could be really depressed typing this! oooh how the thread has digressed as usual...

Talking about censored records when it first came out the Stranglers Peaches had the line "Is she trying to get out of that clitoris" replaced by "Is she trying to get out of that bikini" for radio play.
