Reminiscent of this scene from the 1981 teen-slasher parody, Student Bodies:
> Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "Fuck you."
> [the MPAA R-rating logo appears on the screen]

- bena 23d agoFear of a Black Hat, a rap mockumentary in the same vein as This is Spinal Tap, begins with a warning about the language in the movie that's essentially them repeating the offending words three or four times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fmaaZtINRU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fmaaZtINRU
- ratelimitsteve 23d agoJoke's on you, as standards loosen now PG-13 movies get up to eleven "fuck"s to distribute throughout the film (nineteen for documentaries)
- SoftTalker 23d agoToday's 13 year olds say that word more times than that before breakfast.
- lo_zamoyski 23d agoWhich is, of course, a bad thing that ought not to be encouraged and that ubiquity does, in fact, encourage and normalize.
- ratelimitsteve 23d ago>Which is, of course, a bad thing that ought not to be encouraged I'm not actually willing to take that as read. It's just the word "fuck". You may personally find it distasteful and you're welcome to discourage your children from using it but it seems like you're committing Pargin's Blunder here (mistaking norms specific to your social group for universal truths).
- rnd0 23d agoSo fucking what? Nothing wrong with that. Lighten up, francis.
- pessimizer 23d agoIf the word fuck isn't offensive, there's absolutely no reason to use it.
- defrost 23d agoYet every culture across the globe has and has always had swearing, profanity, taboo words, fart jokes, and gate keepers decrying such things. While the reasons may elude, the ubiquity speaks to something foundational.
