new controversery about 'the war' from my local paper...

the meat of the issue:

bad words -

• SNAFU, which is not an acronym for Situation Normal All Fouled Up.

• FUBAR, which does not stand for Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition.

• A popular vulgarity for excrement, and another for a part of the human anatomy. The words are used by a former ball-turret gunner describing what it's like to be seriously wounded on a B-17 bombing raid over Germany.

Two four-letter words and one seven-letter word, used in passing by members of "The Greatest Generation" as they describe the most hellish war the world has known so far.

Rather than put local stations at risk of incurring $325,000 fines from the Federal Communications Commission if the words are broadcast between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., the Public Broadcasting System opted to provide two War documentaries, identical except for those four missing words, and let local station officials decide which one to show.

the thought police win again... *sigh*
