Fox allows 's' word. Take a stand for our children!

Dear Daniel,

Tired of all the profanity on TV? Want to do something about it? Here is your opportunity.

File a complaint with the FCC against Fox Network for using the "s" word.

This past Sunday afternoon, Fox network broadcast the NASCAR "Food City 500" race. During the course of the race, driver Martin Truex, Jr. crashed his car after being bumped by another driver.

Fox network aired a conversation between Truex and his crew chief, Kevin Manion. During the course of the conversation, Manion told his driver, "We missed the set-up today. It (the car) was a piece of s**t.

Fox had been warned about allowing the "s" word on the air. The network could have used a delay and bleeped the profanity. But they chose not to. The network chose to air the segment live. Millions of viewers, including children, were offended by the crude profanity.

Also, please forward this to your family and friends. Together, we can make a difference!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Fox Network or NASCAR, but that doesn't mean, I'd push the FCC to stifle their right to speak freely.

Since when is offending people a problem? To quote The Suicidal Tendencies "You Can't Bring Me Down"
"And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...fuck you!"

Can anyone sight one study that shows that "crude profanity" actually damages children?
I grew hearing profanity and I wasn't really restricted in it usage and I don't believe I've suffered any harm from it.
