Oh the shame of it

this post contains graphic language so go be offended somewhere else


The other day my boyfriend was playing the Xbox game Scarface. I look up at the TV screen and I guess he had just died, because the screen said "You Fucked Up". I'm shocked. I mean I know how violent these video games are. I actually enjoy, Hitman: Blood Money. The killings, the beatings, all the violence are strangely fun, but Scarface has definitely crossed the line with the "F" word. You know little kids are going to be playing that game. The world is officially going to hell. I had suspected as much the last few years but I'm pretty sure of it now.


Then I was watching Nip/Tuck and someone said "shit" and I had to rewind it. I didn't think you could say shit on TV. I know its cable and its after 10pm and parents can block channels, but I am outraged and titillated at the same time. I remember when Martin used to say "damn" all the time and my parents hated that. Then "bitch" was cool, as in, "son of a bitch" or "what a bitch", when women say it. Now its "shit". That means there is only one word left that you can't say on TV. The "F" word. Soon enough. Soon enough. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now. Fuck it.
