                         I was just-  I was just watching the 
                         TV! They had this commercial.

               Cartman	No, come on! Guess! They're gonna say something that's 
               never been said on television.

                         Guess.

                         Goddamnit, Cartman! What are they gonna 
                         say on Cop Drama?
 
                                     CARTMAN
                         You ready?  Tonight, on Cop Drama, on 
                         TV, they're gonna say,  "Shit."
 
                                     KYLE

                                     CARTMAN
                         It was just on the news! People are 
                         freaking out, dude.
 
                                     STAN

                         Yeah. I'm gonna have people over to 
                         my house to see it.

                         King on stage!
 
                                     CARTMAN
                         Maybe you didn't hear me, Kyle: I said 
                         "shit!" On television!
 
                                     KYLE
                         It's just a marketing ploy by the network. 
                         Like that time they had the first male-to-male 
                         kiss with Terrance and Phillip?
 
                                     STAN

                                     CARTMAN
                         Jeez, you're a little irritable, Kyle. 
                         What's the matter? You got some sand 
                         in your vagina?
 
                                     KYLE
                         No, I don't have sand in my vagina! 
                         I just think it's a little immature 
                         for us to be standing around talking 
                         about one dumb word being on TV!

                         Last night, the daring and bold show, 
                         Cop Drama , broke new ground by saying 
                         "SHIT" on television, making "shit" 
                         officially okay to say around the country. 
                          A recent poll shows that 24% of Americans 
                         think the show has pushed the envelope 
                         too far, while a whopping 76% say they 
                         don't really give a shit.  In other 
                         news, a strange virus which causes victims

                         usage, I'm s'posed to clarify the school's 
                         position on the word, "shit."

                                     MS. CHOKSONDIK
                         Yes, but only in the figurative noun 
                         form or the adjective form
 
                                     CARTMAN

                                     MS. CHOKSONDIK
                         You can only use it in the non-literal 
                         sense. For instance,  "That's a shitty 
                         picture of me." is now fine. Hoever, 
                         the literal noun form of  "This is a 
                         picture of shit." is still naughty. 
                         
 
                                     CARTMAN

                         The adjective form is now also acceptable. 
                         For example:  "The weather outside is 
                         shitty." However, the literal adjective 
                         is NOT appropriate. For example:  "My 
                         bad diarrhea made the inside of the 
                         toilet bowl shitty, and I had to clean 
                         it with a rag, which then also became 
                         shitty."  That's right out!

                         Look, it's all about context. Well, 
                         for example, recently, I have come out 
                         and admitted that I was a homosexual. 
                         I'm gay. That means that now I can say 
                         the word, "fag." On television they 
                         usually don't allow "fag." But because 
                         I'm gay, it's alright. And with the 
                         new approval of the word, "shit," that 
                         means that finally I am free to say,

                         around for over 600 years. It comes 
                         from the Anglo-Saxon word, "skite."

                         stopped calling it "skite" and started 
                         calling it "shit." The same year as 
                         the Black Plague.

                         your captain speaking. If you look out 
                         the right side of the aircraft you can 
                         see some interesting shit.  And over 
                         on the left side, there's some interesting 
                         shit, too.  Well, we should be arriving 
                         in los Angeles in about two hours. Until

                         thought-provoking netertainment. How 
                         great it is that we live in a country 
                         where an artist can express himself 
                         freely. That's not only the American 
                         spirit, it's the HBC spirit. Which allows 
                         us to make great family programs like 
                         Halo The Turtle, and of course, everyone's 
                         favorite show, Cop Drama. We can't thank 
                         you enough for bringing your concerns 
                         to our network, for it is you, the loyal

                         were created to make sure that bad words 
                         were kept to a minimum. "Curse words" 
                         They're called that because they are 
                         a curse. We have to go back to only 
                         using curse words in rare, extreme circumstances.

                         And besides, too much use of a dirty 
                         word takes away from its... impact. 
                         We believe in free speech and all that, 
                         but... keeping a few words taboo just 
                         adds to the fun of English.
