Great point, I agree. Has been used to influence world opinion about us which is one of the tools they used to influence political decisions in past elections .... such as the Kerry run which lauded elitist, cultured classes to pressure us into falling into line like Europeans.

It portrays Americans as uncouth and uneducated. Like Peter Griffin.

Methinks they ran out of plots several movies ago.

It seldom adds anything of value to anything. Those words should be reserved for actual angry moments - like when some jerk cuts you off and turns in front of you.<br /><br />There is no choice of the off button - You don't know for a fact that those words are going to be uttered until they happen.   People use the F word in common conversations - how do you turn that off?
