I just listened to a podcast about the word f*ck (*u), which was originally aired on Australian national radio (that's 666 down in Canberra I believe;-) -
"In print, is an expletive less offensive if disguised with an asterisk?
"In print, is an expletive less offensive if disguised with an asterisk?
Or does your brain automatically fill in the gap?
Why are there so many books using F**k in the title?
Why are there so many books using F**k in the title?
There’s a language warning for this episode."
WARNING: Take the title as a real warning, too.
The following contains str*ng l*ngu*ge
I used the F word in my post about Crowley when I wrote about reading his 'The Book of the Law' when I wrote, "f#ck off Al you deluded egotistical Bible-bashed and rebellious poor soul."
I used the word as a nod to his indulgence in so called "sex magick" that Crowley was into so much, allegedly.
A Beetle is Just a Beetle Until You Decide That It’s Not?
I wasn't worried about offending Thelemites and Crowley fans when I put an # instead of a "u" in the F word I used in that sentence, but I thought it may offend readers of my blog to leave the word in its natural form (mainly American readers in my mind).
While I can swear like a sailor at times, I still don't like writing swear words unedited on this blog and I c*n't see that changing anytime soon either.
Although, I will make exceptions when it comes to writing about the fuckhead pictured above ... and I don't mean Crowley, either;-)
Now I'll have to say sorry to my American readers ... I'm sorry that you have a fuckhead for a president, that is:-)
