Do you think the S word should be allowed on mainstream tv shows?


It's true. The United States has one of the harshest rules on network television but one of the harshest is that mainstream tv shows are NOT allowed to cuss....

Although most countries don't allow the F word, universally however, with the exception of the United States, they allow to say S*** at least...

Do you think S*** should be allowed on mainstream network tv? let's see what people think

It's semi-true. Not all swears are actually banned. At any rate, blame the FCC -- one of my least-fave government agencies.

We have a watershed of 9PM over here in the UK meaning anything that's graphic including swearing shouldn't be aired before that watershed. Although some mainstream shows like soaps do tend to try and bend that rule due to the storylines they cover.

Im almost positive they have that here to, at least for certain cable channels because I know for a fact they say shit on television.

Nah cable channels can do whatever they want the reason why they don't is to appease companies that will put commercials on there. The FCC only monitors the network channels, they don't have any control over channels like MTV or Comedy Central. This is also why those channels have gotten more mature as time goes on, with more cuss words in random shows.

The FCC is one of the single most corrupt agencies of the federal government.

I learned that at a young age.

I, for one, agree with not allowing curse words on television since there are more effective and classier ways of cursing people out without being blatantly crude and offensive. For instance I'm not going to call the president other than a prevaricating height-challenged, unsophisticated, sleazebag with delusions of godhood; were any curse words used in that?

Basically, that is why South Park can get away with swearing now. They are so popular even advertisers can't tell them what and what not to do.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "S word". I can think of a few words that begin with the letter S.

You're as dumb as a box of bricks. Just yesterday CNN both proudly spelled out and said s***hole on live television. Now go back to fishing pooh in your s***hole (aka the toilet).

@mrduckbear

You're also a heifer. I forgot to say that.
