So I was watching 'Breaking Bad' (a US tv show about meth dealing).
I will admit that it was a recorded version from america, I really don't want to wait months until it's shown in the UK.
Possible exceedingly minor spoilers from now on
In one scene, a character called Mike leaves a piece of paper under a bin to be found by the police, On it are written the words 'F**k You'
The U and the C were both blurred on the screen.
This got me wondering as to why they were blurred, this episode dealt with the themes of Adultery, the murder of a child, and of course the dealing and cooking of drugs.
Can the american audiance really stomach such strong themes, but struggle with a tiny bit of non verbal swearing? it just doesn't make sense to me.
So for conversation, What it your countries attitude towards swearing? Is it worse than violence?
How about your personal attitude towards it?
Please don;t make this descend into a cursing free for all, keep your language in check
TLDR: Should swearing be covered up in a show about murder and drugs?
