The homicide rate is twice the national norm, but noone swears.  VICTORY!

What are the details of the actual law? I mean, can you not be "allowed" to watch anything but G movies and listen to Pat Boone albums or something? Or does it only apply to what residents actually say?

And what qualifies as "cussing" with anyways? Can I say "butt", but not "ass"? Can I exclame "shoot!", but not "shit!"? And why..? What the fuck is the difference?

It's just a proclamation that March 3-7 is "No Cussing Week".  Like, cities who declare day x as "American Idol Day" for contestants that come from there?  It's not an ordiance.  The council also proclaimed March 14 as "Ray Bradbury Day".  Not like that means people can only read Fahrenheit 451.  Calm the fuck down.

Yeah...but No Cussing Week makes me really want to drive down there and swear like Haemish on a good tear. It's like a taunt.

Yeah.  Maybe buy out some ad space that says "It's the Fucking First Amendment, Cocksuckers."

Guys? Guys? *crickets*


I have severe eye strain from rolling them too hard. I may sue.

American Idol Day?

Sort of - it was named after whatever finalist was from some town.  Last year I think.  It was actually named Kelly Clarkson Day, or whatever that contestant was, because of their participation in Idol.  My town proclaimed a "Stephen Colbert Day" when he came to visit not long ago.  City Councils do this stuff all the time.  In this case, a 14y kid said at a council meeting that he thought it would be swell if they could have a no cussing week.  Hey, teenager is all civic-like and asking people to be nice.  There's a teen left who ISN'T a hormonal anti-social raging asshole?  Sure, we'll endorse that.  Stamp.

Uh, actually, he sounds precisely like an anti-social raging asshole to me.  :wink:

Who said swearing isn't nice?

And anyone, fuck nice people. They're insipid or lying.

I'm a good person, but I'm certainly not nice. Too honest.

Whenever someone even uses the word "cuss" I assume they are stupid.

Can we have an all cussing day?

Cause I would definitely enjoy that one.

We could've ended this thread with a Robert Jordan joke.  But since we're moving on... I don't suppose anyone can find a clip of the episode of Bullshit about the woman who goes around confronting people who swear in public?  The one who says Santa Vaca and thinks it's innocent and unoffensive to anyone?

So, maybe that movie Demolition Man isn't too far off about how things are going to end up for LA in the future.
