A Suggestion concerning bleeping obscenities on broadcast shows.

In My Humble Opinion
1

Why not, when someone says the word “fuck” during a broadcast instead of bleeping it have an announcer intone “FCC”.

For example:

Some out of work actor might say, “Yeah I don’t care what they said, I still didn’t get the fucking part.”

Currently, as broadcast we’d hear, “Yeah I don’t care what they said, I still didn’t get the f.bleep.ng part.”

My way we would hear, “Yeah I don’t care what they said, I still didn’t get the
F.C.C.ng part.”

Any other ideas on this? Other officious substitutes for the other 7 words you aren’t supposed to say?

Mods, I wasn’t sure if this belonged in Cafe Society or IMHO, so I thought I’d start it in IMHO. Feel free to move it. Thanks.

They could sell the “bleep” airtime as ad space, by putting in a product name over the naughty words.

“I didn’t get the Pepsi part!”

“Hit the floor, mother-Doritos!”
And when blue dots are necessary to block out nipples and other dirty body parts, use logos instead!!
