A Fucking Story From Those Bastards At The Kansas City Star

The title of the piece is What the *$%! kind of world are we in? You see, a family newspaper can't really use profanity. Ah, but bloggers can, damnit.

This is a story about words we can’t print in this report.

You probably hear these words often, and more than ever before. But even though we can’t print them — we do have our standards — we can certainly ask: Are we living in an Age of Profanity?

Nearly three-quarters of Americans questioned last week — 74 percent — said they encounter profanity in public frequently or occasionally, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll. Two-thirds said they think that people swear more than they did 20 years ago.

So don't worry Kansas City Star, we've got your back on this. You keep it clean and we bloggers will take care of the flip side.

Couldn't pass it up. Sometimes these things write themselves. Or more precisely, the devil made me do it.
