In what seems like a stupid waste of time, the California state assembly will vote today on a resolution proposing statewide observance of a "Cuss Free Week" each March. (Not like those guys have anything else to be working on.) The resolution does not stipulate any enforcement mechanism, although that would be amusing.
This is lucky for the members of seminal Los Angeles rap group N.W.A, who have been known to use profanity a bit. You may have heard that recently conceptual artist Evan Roth edited the groups classic 1988 album Straight Outta Compton down to an Explicit Content Only Version, deleting everything except the words that get bleeped on the radio. Which means you end up with these lyrics to the "Fuck Tha Police":
Muthafuckin'/Muthafuckin' ass/Goddamn right/Fuck nigga fuck/Shit muthafucker/Fuck you/Fags nigga's nuts/Muthafucker/Nigga/Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck/Goddamn animals/Shit/Bastard/Fuck this shit/Ass fucked up shit/Fuck/Muthafuckin' nigga nigga shit/Fuck you/Shit ass/Muthafuckin' asshole/Muthafucker nigga fuck you/Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck/Warrants/Fuck/Muthafuckin' ass shit/Bullshit/Muthafuckin' kick ass/Fast little nigga muthafucker/Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck/Muthafucker you're goddamn/Fuck you, muthafuckerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssss
Reason enough alone to hope the the resolution doesn't pass.
Balance the goddam budget you legislative fuck faces.
Yes! This is idiotic. More profanity not less, pls.
if it wasn't so goddamn pretty here, i'd leave.
Maybe they plan to solve the budget crisis by asking all violators to put a dollar in a giant swear jar?
What's with these mealy-mouthed pig-fucking pea pickers? Don.t they know that I am the self appointed censor for the Awl?
If you play that song in reverse, it's actually Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown."
Obviously these people drive to work on city streets and not the 405, or they would realize they are shitting into the wind.
I imagine an enforcement body would be something akin to a squadron of Junior High School Vice Principals.
You mean that's not how it went all along? I have been living a lie.
It's because of that goddamn No Cussin' Club. Fuck that little McKay Hatch up the ass with no lube.
