Justin Timberlake for getting away scott-free: 123149198. Actually I stopped counting at some point.

Fuckin'-a right.

FX already allows "shit" on their shows so why not just go all the way and let them say "fuck". It's not like you can keep kids from hearing anyway. Parents can just make sure they only watch such pure as the driven snow channels like Disney which will end up taking over the major broadcasting channels soon anyway as a step toward their trilogy-of-evil-take-over-the-world plan along with Apple and Facebook.

So does TNT. I was watching Rizzoli and Isles last night and was shocked when one of the main characters said it.

Did they? I missed it? What did you think of the show. I thought it was pretty good for another cop show.

I know Southland has used "shit" but they usually just silence it out over bleeping it.

Yup. It was Rizzoli who said it. I loved the show! I didn't expect to because I only watched it because nothing else was on, but it was so good that I'm going to continue watching it.

So, can be there be more swearing on TV shows now? I'd love that.

The only words that are appropriate for this situation: FUCK YEAH! :D
