Re :TV, Comedy profanity....
How the "human value system" or acceptable moral standard of todays broadcast to the wider community has changed drastically from old.
I remember in my day, when television first started broadcasting, comedy was on the production genere'.
We had a television comedian by the name of Graham Kennedy with many talents. (1960s-1990s)
His greats claim to fame was when he walked out onto the stage and said to the audience:
"How the f#$^ are ya's". The outburst of profanity cost him a few years banned from Live TV and Radio.
He returned to Television years later and become famous for his audible crow call arrrk arrk which
he would add the consonant f.aaaarrrk f.aaarrk on national TV and Radio.
Point in question: profanity an its "expressionism" is given the normalisation in society, along with the overall social moral degradation that comes with it. What was once an inacceptable moral from previous generations of people, is now acceptable moral with out any legal consequence's. If Graham Kennedy were alive, he'd be immortalised with the title "King of Profanity" instead of the "King of Television" title he has today.
But the legal law back then stopped social moral degradation at the grass roots. The law today looks the other way when it's expressed on Broadcast media.
What social degradation will be normalised into our social system in the coming generation years.
