For some reason, I can't really see Newsjack using this little snippet...

MILES: ...and scientists have proved recently that swearing helps reduce pain – this means that manufacturers can now use swearing as an ingredient in pain relief medicines. Consequently, a whole new range of swearing medicines is soon to hit the shelves, ranging from mild swearing as in Bumjela mouth gel or Arsepirin tablets all the way up to much stronger swearing painkillers such as Lemsh(BLEEP)t hot lemon drink and Paracetamotherf(BLEEP)er. For serious illnesses, there will be a range of full strength Gordon Ramsay medicines available...

Send it to NR that's fantastic.

Painfully funny. And there's scope for f**k-cough medicine, pile-drivers,f**k-nose sprays, and gindegestion tablets, too. Wonderful

This is a brilliant concept. Very funny. As are Birch's additions.

I don't see why you can't send this to Newsjack.

Cheers guys.

I think the BBC are a bit touchy about any swearing, even bleeped at the moment, after that whole woss/Brand/Sachs thingy.

I might send to NR though.

You could probably add the bleeps earlier?

Very good, made me laugh, but just a few words in there that are bulking it out rather than condensing.

Fair effort. But the whole Gordon Ramsey swearing thing is now getting very old.

True but it was 11:45 when I thought of it and the Newsjack deadline is 12:00.

How do you mean? Bleep the whole name out or call them things like (Bleep)shit hot lemon drink and (Bleep)cetamotherf**ker?

A good take on the story.

Funny, I've heard BBC radio comedy people say that swearing is a big no-no and bleeping is too, because it's considered as strong as the word being bleeped. But didn't Newsjack have a bleep on a sketch last week?

I seem to remember one. Perhaps late night radio 7 can get away with slightly more.
