Got my copy of Entertainment Weekly in the mail today (got a sub for a year for $4) and luckily I got Daryl! Woot!

Nice... I got Rick.

I did a quick search and a single utterance of the "F" word has resulted in fines as high as $325,000.00.

So, I guess Negan's mouth could get extremely expensive.

And yet you can show people being gutted and the their insides being pulled out. Pathetic.

 

[The Ween]

I just hope they don't replace it with the word FRACK. I hate that!

 

[crows]

well shoot.
fraking shoot
you mother father

I agree, it doesn't exactly say good things about this society. Violence ok. Boobies bad. Profanity bad.

kids will imitate what they see on screen, but a kid will probably not imitate decapitating a zombie, but a kid WILL curse non stop if they see it because kids are stupid.
(same with the boobs, kids are pretty perverted)

Children should not be watching these types of shows. If they are then it's the parents responsibilty if their kid hears bad language or sees people getting eaten etc...

I just think the overly-puritanical obsession people have with nudity in the U.S does more harm then good. Sure, nobody wants to watch a movie that has graphic sex with their kids, but seriously, nipples? What's the big deal? Bare butt? Who cares?

I'd rather my kid saw boobs or butt on screen then graphic violence.

And the violence isn't just towards zombies on TWD, which I would not let my kids watch, but is used pretty graphically on the living as well. But I'm really talking about TV and movies in general.

Rick says "they're f---ing with the wrong people" in the season 5 dvd. Negan could absolutely use it and they could censor it or replace it and then put it on the dvd. It's better than nothing.

That's just a deleted scene though, right? Or an alternate take. Did they replace the "screwing" line entirely?

I think we'll see Negan drop one F bomb on his into, but after that, who knows. Its such an critical part of his characterization. If you've watched Dexter, you'll know Deb's foul mouth was very much apart of her character and Negan is no different. They've pushed the gore more than just about any other show I think, really, what is a bit of language at this point. I mean has it really come to the point where violence is more acceptable than nudity and nudity more acceptable than foul language? Because I encounter foul language on a daily basis living in modern society. Public nudity and violence is a far, far lesser occurance in daily life.

I don't want this to open the flood gates where every character is dropping an f-bomb other other word, but if they kept it soley to Negan (and maybe Rick to mock him) it would be fine. I've never been a fan of Tarintino dialogue because of that. Give that man a thesauraus already!

Negan will be a show changer that is for sure, even more so if they can somehow get him to swear like a sailor. I wonder if AMC could 'purchase' a 'swearing license' for a single character? One lump sum fine that could give them the freedom to let Negan rip to his heart's content. There is an ultimate Negan line from the comic that would result in about a $1 Million+ fine if they used it, but it would be awesome.

Doesn't the F word already appear frequently in TWD? It's not something I've noticed if it doesn't, but I'm sure I've heard it used before.

No. They say 's***' a lot as though to make up for it.

Why on earth would that be allowed but the F word not

 

[chewblacca]

Anyone remember the South Park episode where every other word was a curse word?

 

[rushmore223]

Yeah they said the "s" word 163 times, I believe. It was called "it hits the fan"

 

[greygoose]

Anyone remember the South Park episode where every other word was a curse word?

Did they ask for permission or were they happy to take the hit and get fined?

Most of the time, nudity isn't necessary for the story at all. And when it is, it mostly one sided, so they can leave it out all together for all I care.

Language I don't care most of the time. I do think comedians these days use the F bomb a lot because otherwise they wouldn't be funny. It can be overkill.

Unlike the UK, in the States that's THE worst cuss word to say.
