The word "Fucking" officially has no meaning

According to the FCC, you can say "fucking" on the air now; see the article No FCC Action Vs. Bono Over Naughty Word. The short version, if you don't want to click,
Quote:
"The word 'f---ing' my be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities," the bureau wrote. "Rather, the performer used the word 'f---ing' as an adjective or expletive to emphasize an exclamation. Indeed, in similar circumstances, we have found that offensive language used as an insult rather than as a description of sexual or excretory activities or organs is not within the scope of the commission's prohibition of indecent program content."

I'm really fucking amazed that fucking, in the non-verb sense, is fucking acceptable. So I could say that girl is fucking amazing so long as I make sure that people know that I'm talking about her looks and not her sexual functions. Fucking awesome!

I wonder if it will ever really be used though.

I agree, it would be fuckin sweet to see Stu Scott or whoever say "What a fucking amazing catch!"

I searched the FCC page, but couldn't find the relevant quote. I was wondering if they actually used the word "fucking" in their writeup, or if it was "f---ing" as shown in the news quotes. I'll try again tomorrow.

wow I was just having a conversation with a friends today about the very word fuck and all it's different meanings. It really is a great word because you can use it in places you normally wouldnt even put a fucking word and it would sound fuckin fine.

Reminds me of Malcom X. "A man curses when he doesn't have the words at hand that he wants to use." That's not verbatim, but it's the jist of it.

we can say FUCK on television after 9.30pm i believe.

i fairly certain that other swearwords like Shit, DIckhead and such are allowed anytime.

and the C word, well, that ones never allowed.

i think that swearing should be allowed on air, so its up to the individual to decide whether they should use such language.

I'm going to have to the one dissenting voice here and say: FUCK NO!
Leave Fuck the fuck alone!

remmeber when they decided that "shit" was okay" and remember when SouthPark had the episode dedicated to saying shit as many times as they could? do you remember the moral of the story?

I remember being a young child, and the POWER that cuss words had... my lips trembled and my body quivered if I should try and sputter out a "fuck you" or even "asshole"... the reaction to these words by other people was just as dramatic.. ... now these words fly out of my mouth as quickly as any other noun/verb/pronoun/adjective, and hardly create a stir... even "cunt" is becoming quite blah as it's use changes from harsh degredation to humerous satire of the female flower...

on a side note... you can always say ANYTHING on television if it's in the right context.. ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, WB, UPN, etc will NEVER be in that context though because they're utter shit. PBS on the other hand... if anyone's been watching the special on the history/culture of Blues, then your ears are probably bleeding

I've gotta agree with you. I very rarely swear, and when I do, people take notice. When profanity is used too much, it looses power; just like building up a tolerance.
