WHAT THE F**CK!

I am not in the habit of using foul language, although I have been known to throw out the occasional SH*T to describe some failing of mine. My topic that I feel compelled to share with you is the noticeable increase in the use of the word F**K in movies of all kinds and on carriers of all types.

I like to watch movies on my television (It beats sitting there and watching the plastic flowers grow and hoping beyond hope that you don’t see one of them bloom.). What I have noticed of late is that almost all the movies have moved from literary respectability to relying on an exaggerated use of the word F**K.

This shift from the occasional “bad boy or girl” use of riskay language seems to have permeated good scripts so much that, in my case, it ruins the movie for me.

To tell you the truth, I am not surprised, given the supersaturated nature of thinking that says, “We must be real and reflect the times.” Call me a fuddy-duddy (which I am). Still, the foggy morality of modern society ends up corrupting the very movies or plays about topics that would otherwise be challenging to become distracted by the constant F**KIN’ this or that.

Here are some ideas of mine, and mine alone.

Too much use of bad words spoils the timing and tempo of a play or movie.

Heavy use of so-called rude expressions makes them ordinary and, after a while, acceptable as part of the English language. Schoolchildren now use these words without thinking, believing they are cool and current. Is this evolution or devolution?

The use of these crude words as usual and part of “how it is” reflects on those who use them.
From the mouth comes what is in your heart.

Society does not solve problems of what is essential or normative, but people can.

My choice is to watch or not watch the movie or play. There is a cost to my integrity and moral sensitivity that I F**KIN’ hate.
