F**K. NO, Atrocity ...it was pretty Blatant as if kids today never heard the word on a regular basis in this day and age!

The NETWORKS need to lighten up!

And HECK, it's currently listed in the dictionary as a VERB:

The reason I asked is that I've never found any reference to it online. I was in the habit of recording the audio for SNL performances at the time (and for several years after) and even I didn't catch it at first. One day I was playing back the tape and suddenly had a "Wait...did he..?" moment. Rewound it and it was plain as day.

As a professional infant, I actually have a mental list of musical acts that managed to slip it past the censors. Aside from the Stones, there's also the Beastie Boys and R.E.M.

The B-52's slipped in a BS, though I saw that rerun several years back and was disappointed to see that NBC caught it. They garbled the audio and blurred Fred's lips.

I also noticed that NETFLIX has the annoying habit of bleeping out profanity when showing trailer clips of their offerings which of course are reinstated when you view the actual production!

Plain WEIRD...and IMO, more than a bit HYPERCRITICAL!

That's understandable if their intent for the clips are to be played anywhere, not just where young adults and older might see them.

There's legitimate reasons to not drown the youth in profanity and adult themed content. They have plenty of time to develop their potty mouths and stupid ideas.
