It is high time that the US joins the rest of the world and recognize that people do use foul language and that blue speech makes up a large percentage of the vernacular in our society. Gone are the days when the occasional f word could turn someone into a social outcast or cause them great embarrassment. It IS how people speak and to ban it from the public airways is so last century. Additionally, the appearance of a woman's nipple or a nice pair of bare butt cheeks is a welcomed relief to the current stuffy, blushing 'OMG I think I just saw something' childish approach to the human body that we Americans seem to hold dear. In fact, I have watched shows where the fact that the woman is clutching a blanket to cover her breasts actually draws attention to the fact that she has breasts and they are right there. I find myself trying to will that damned blanket to slip. It won't but a guy has to have hopes doesn't he? The very thought that an accidental nipple slip that looked more like the popping out of some sort of weapon from a robotic breast then any real nudity could possibly bring about hefty fines is Victorian and more than a little bit stupid. For once the Supreme Court made a good decision. I have to say that I consider this to be a nice bit of news.

A perfect storm is surely one that does no damage, kills no-one but looks very pretty and sounds good? Preferably also cleaning my drive and knocking down some leylandii. Walt, I would agree.

It is a meaningless cliche made popular by a completely forgettable movie. Writers should all ask themselves: What would Joan Didion do?
