California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week 262
shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."

They can appeal to the Moral "Majority" by saying "Hey! Let's not swear for a week, and we'll set up a swear jar too!" but really what they're saying is "Hey, you cocksucker motherfuckers! We fucking know you can't control your goddamn language you bastards, so cough up some fucking dough!" Great way to get some money in CA's coffers. They are struggling, and with all the filthy language that flies around that very liberal patch of land, this could very well lead to serious revenue.
Yes, I'm being facetious.

use word placement to make a point. Arnold did this, and it was
clear what his intentions were. I applaud our government for
keeping their promises on this critical piece of legislation.
Year after year tax payer money gets thrown away on
one stupid idea after another. Unless we can educated the
uneducated, these movie stars will continue to rule.
America needs leadership that can dedicate a week to getting
results. A week just to stop swearing at each other, that is
not even a good start. We need a week away from faith in
our markets to fix everything. We need a week of using
logic to solve problems. We need to vote third party, the
democrats and republics are colluding, but they call it compromise.

No fucking shit. Especially since this forsaken shithole is practically broke because of these dim witted bitches and their cock-biting agendas.
On a related note, the Facebook response is a group called "Fuck Week." I didn't join, but I was quite amused.

Next they'll make a law that states people have the right to not be offended on the Internet.

Unnecessary to sign this measure at this time."

Governor walks over to the swear jar and puts in a $100. Apparently it's going to be a long night.

The Governator responded with his catchphrase, "Fuck you asshole," which previously he only used in his R-rated movies. He then added, "You are one ugly motherfucker."

Half the words in the dictionary can "cause offense and hurt feelings or other psychological harm", if used the right way.
The other half can "cause offense and hurt feelings or other psychological harm" if used in the wrong way.

Fsck swearing... I want to hear them go a whole month (or even an hour) without saying any word starting with the letter 's' or something creative like that. The person that breaks the rule the most gets to sit on one of those seats over a tub of water that you throw tennis balls at a target and if you hit it dumps them in. Or even better, a bucket of slime over everyone's head that gets poured on them whenever they say "I don't know".
