Scalia, The F word, Well That's Cool
Not only are we not ready for prime time, we are not ready for any tv broadcast. If you have watched any number of the podcasts from the Well That's Cool family of podcast you may have heard a four letter word or two or three. Thats because, we are not afraid to use the words. That is one of the main ways we are different from Suprem Court justice Antonin Scalia. In a recent 5-4 rulling the court "upheld the government’s power under existing law to ban the use on radio and TV of even a single four-letter word that is considered indecent"
In Justice Scalia's written opinion he "referred to the banned words as the “F-word” and the “S-word” but not go on to fill out their actual spelling. Justice Scalia also did not spell them out in his oral announcement of the decision." His written opinion, in a case dealing with uses of those four-letter words during performance awards broadcasts involving celebrities, took a swipe at “foul-mouthed glitteratae from Hollywood.”
So because at times we let the four letter words fly - by Justice Scalia's standards we are "foul-mouthed glitteratae from Hollywood"! I knew we were on track to the big time; I just not not realize how quickly it would come!
Good thing the internet is a unregulated wonderland - As Matt King Smith would say - F that noise!
