"Fuck" costs $325,000 to utter over the airwaves
The Federal Government just increased the price for saying "fuck" on TV or radio from $32,500 to $325,000. That's because Congress passed the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act (BDEA). I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to a sharp drop in criminal behavior as a result of this new law to keep our minds squeaky clean. LinkReader comment: Tian says: "Yet, Japan has a historical and cultural temple dedicated to 'fuck.' To continue the amusment, this is the best Engrish shirt ever."
