"The BBC has been told to ban swearing on its flagship channel until 10pm - after viewers told a TV standards investigation they were fed up with bad language."
"The suggested change of policy follows a BBC report commissioned in the wake the Jonathan Ross-Russell Brand affair, during which obscene messages were left on Andrew Sachs's answerphone. "
wtf?
It was the content, rather than the words, which were most offensive. It's easy to talk about sex with someone's grand-daughter without swearing once. I think that it's to our disadvantage to restrict language use, and it fails to address the underlining problems anyway.
