Xeni Jardin points to a piece (originally found by John Parres) where Wal-Mart is being sued by some customers for selling them some offensive music. Read the whole piece, because I am not going to talk about it here, I want to talk about foul language in general.
So the first point I want to make is “get over it”. The reality is that there will always be foul language, it exists to jar the audiences mind into taking notice, thats why you hear it so often in music. Now don’t get me wrong. I’d hate my daughter to use that kind of language every day, but, given the right circumstances I would hope that she is armed with the right language tools to make an impact.
I think that is why the bugger ad makes me laugh so much, it conveys the sentiment so well.
