(no subject)

The use of offensive words in public is a sign of the coarsening of the culture, a trend that the advertising industry is in large measure responsible for. The FCUK "joke" has gone beyond the name itself, what the company calls an anagram of a "cheeky word". Of course, cheeky is a euphemism for offensive. Saying "f---" in public is not cheeky, it is unacceptable, which is why newspapers still use hyphens.


Clive, Clive, Clive.

Fuck you and your paternalistic attempt to dictate what's acceptable and what's not.

(sorry, couldn't resist).

But seriously - read this piece, and all I can see is a mental image of the author as an elderly man in a cardigan, driving an old Renault while wearing his bowls hat, and complaining about, well, everything since the War.
