whudafxup

This shall remain brief.

As I am watching TV with Val and Jess just now, I see another truth ad and this may simply be the most offensive thing I have ever seen on television. The one linked into this blog is not the exact commercial, but the "whudafxup" displayed at the end of the commercial was the exact same.

whudafxup.

Anyone with any sense and knowledge of the word, "fuck," including most anyone older than 12, can make out what this says ... What the fuck's up?

Are you kidding me? This was allowed on television.

If this had been any semi-controversial show or promotion, it would be banned with the quickness. But, because this is an anti-smoking commercial, it flies.

I cry shenanigans.

People cried like hell when South Park used the word, "shit," and lampooned Steve Irwin's death, but when an anti-smoking group blatantly, yet somewhat cleverly, use the word, "fuck," it does unquestioned.

I have very few issues with the use of expletives in common conversation, even in television and film. But, it seems rather hypocritical to tolerate this oh-not-so-cryptic use of, "fuck," when this is the same culture that panicked like the Nipplegate wardrobe malfunction was the Black Tuesday stock market crash all over again.
