The stuff on prime-time is blowing my mind. Even 15 years ago, when I used to sit around and watch TV as an adolescent, I never dreamed they could say the shit they do now. I've heard ass (it used to be used only in double-meanings--only if it could [i]also]/i] mean mule, but now it's used to just straight mean asshole), bitch, whore, and some other words that I don't remember. But all the time, I wonder just how far it can be stretched.
I'm not a prude and am not particularly bothered by it. But I also recognize that I don't have any children, although plenty of them are watching TV at 8 pm.
