Well, lenny bruce did it before carlin. But, they were both only trying to prove a point. That the words are only that. They are words, nothing more. It's a trick that makes them somehow bad and its strange that lenny bruce was arrested for using words. think about that for a moment. a man being arrested for saying a word.

as for the OP's headline. do you not watch your own films? you really think its only happening in america?
