i just watched a local news story (http://www.cbs2chicago.com/works/feature_detail.asp?id=000470809614&type=45802214) on vulgar language and i just love how they sensationalize nothing. when they played the music (eminem, puff daddy, khia, limp bizkit and a few others) they would BLEEP out any offensive language. same during interviews with teens in school hallways. but during interviews with adults they wouldnt edit words out like "ass" and "bitch". of course at the end of the story they were pimping walmart for selling only edited versions. :rolleyes:

Wow if it weren't for the news to give me my opinion, I wouldn't know what to do!
