THE FCC AND THE F-BOMB

Last week Diane Keaton dropped the F-Bomb on “Good Morning America”. The latest in a rash of bombings from the likes of Bono (U2), Cher, and Nicole Richie.

The FCC instituted a possible fine of $325,000 for each use, that was overturned by the courts, though the case is on appeal.

The Kodiak Perspective wonders if these indecent words, satirized by George Carlin many years ago, still function as cuss words. Most of the words are now in common usage and have lost that important ability to shock and offend.

Our cuss words have been in use for a long time and seem tired. In an age where we can harness nano technology, can’t we come up with something new, or is our society too jaded to care.

The Kodiak Perspective started thinking what is something that is still shocking and offensive? How about “NAMBLA”, the North American Man/Boy Love Association. This is shocking and offensive to the majority of Americans. How about using Nambla as a cuss word . . . “You are a nambler”? The idea is good, but a proper cuss word needs a harder sound, "nambler" is too soft. A good cuss word has hard consonants like “K” or “T” which help intensify the word. So, for your consideration: “NAMBLAK”

Coming up with a new cuss word is not so easy. You try it. Put your suggestions in the comments.
