Tomorrow, LA County Board Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich’s expected to declare the first week in March No Cussing Week. (via LAist) Some links to help you prepare:
>> Why Washington’s crusade against swearing on the airwaves is f*cked up. “People believe, contrary to logic, that certain words can corrupt the moral order—that piss and Shit! and fucking are dangerous in a way that pee and Shoot! and freakin’ are not. This quirk in our psychology lies in the ability of taboo words to activate primitive emotional circuits in the brain.”
>> Earlier: Fucking vs. participial adjectives. “The Clean Airwaves Act assumed that fucking is a participial adjective. But this is not correct. With a true adjective like lazy, you can alternate between Drown the lazy cat and Drown the cat which is lazy. But Drown the fucking cat is certainly not interchangeable with Drown the cat which is fucking.”
>> A new book on the shelves: Drink Play F#@k. Jacket Copy has an interview with the author.
