Will the Parents Television Council just shut up and go away? This time, they're upset at CBS for picking up the sitcom version of celebrated Twitter feed "Shit My Dad Says." They're alarmed by the word "Shit." One small detail: The TV version BLEEPS THE WORD OUT. And uses symbols instead of the word in print. They contend that everyone knows what word is represented by the bleeps and symbols. Well, then, if everyone knows, why even bother bleeping it? What's the harm? Even little kids know and use the word. It's practically not a swear word anymore, although I wouldn't advise liberal use of the word, for decorum's sake. Decorum, however, shouldn't be a matter for the FCC.
