I agree "curse" words should not be slipped into vocabulary as though they are an acceptable means of communication. I don't agree they are "profanities". It's profane that our court system is being tied up with this drivel when there are so many other really important issues before them; I believe televangelists asking for money is profane; appealing to prurient interests to sell is profane; my list goes on. I will also add I watched the old movies and tv shows where the actors smoked and the cartoon characters smoked. They were just depicting what I saw around me. Those same actors in those same movies & tv shows drank alcohol. A lot of it, I feel alcohol is far more destructive than smoking or curse words, yet never a cry raised about glamorizing alcohol to young minds. Not one that survives anyway. Your article is much ado about nothing. Kids have been cursing since before tv or movies. It's what they hear around them. Just a little more "reality tv/movies", no worse really than the other tripe they film. Monitor your kids and what they watch. Be your own Supreme Court in your own household, monitor what your kids watch and boycott movies. Problem solved. By the way, if you do boycott tv & movies, when your kids curse, who will you blame then? It's pretty much what kids do.
