The four-word editorial, published Friday in the Rocky Mountain Collegian, said in large type, "Taser this. (Expletive) Bush."
The term "fuck" doesn't offend me in a proper context. The intent of this headline offers no context that I can determine other than to be provocative and serves no useful purpose that I can see. Where is the position and supporting argument?

I find the headline personally troubling because it is more fitting of the lowest form of editorial comment that we see today in various media, rather than the higher standards of journalistic thinking that I would expect from a university publication.
