Censorship (02-17-2007)
I was listening to the radio on Friday and heard the radio personality use the "f" word. Indeed he said "What the F is going on here?". Now this form of self-censorship drives me up the wall. "F", "freak", "fudge" are all considered 'proper alternatives' to the word fuck and none of them will get you into trouble with the FCC.
The only problem that I have with all of this softening of a "really, really bad word" is that when you hear "F", "freak", "fudge", or the like, what you hear in your head is simply and plainly "fuck".
When you hear Al Pacino say "Forget you!" your brain immediately translates that into it's real form of "Fuck you!".
Same for "shat", "shoot", "shite", and the like becoming "shit" after you hear it.
What I'm saying is that censorship is completely useless. Our brains KNOW what is really being said. And if your brain interprets it for the true word, then you might as well as say the true word!
And if any of you disagree with me, well shoot and darn it! You mother fudgers better go the freak away before I get mad and beat the shat out of your arse.
