Reminds me of Ceorge Carlin and his Supreme Court ruling on the words you can't say on radio, which if I remember correctly were
shit fuck asshole jackoff motherfucker cocksucker
His response to the fracas was that if you didn't like hearing them there were two controls on your radio. One turned it off the other changed the station.
Some of the 'standard and practices' rulings he encountered in broadcasting were odd to say the least. You can say 'pissed off' but you can't say 'pissed on' as in... "Why are you so pissed off?" "He pissed on me!" You can say "pissed" if you mean 'mad' but not if you mean 'to urinate'.
