Swears

A short history of swearing has a few choice examples from the last century. Thursday's broadcast of the Daily Show on Comedy Central missed a variation on the F-word (though it bleeped another later in the show). This would seem to be a problematical oversight after the recent Jackson/Timberlake cultural intervention and an increasingly unserious politics. Welcome to the sleepwalking world of the late '90s (that last link via Daimnation!).
