I was quite surprised that on German MTV, **** you was played at any time of day without a problem. I had kind of noticed it before, hearing the odd word, then thinking did I really hear that, but it was blatantly clear with that song. I was told at some point (but can’t validate the fact) that the idea of certain words being offensive is a very English language thing, in other languages and cultures an insult is based on a statement such as “your mother has a face like a baboons bottom” not a singular offensive word. It does kind of reinforce my personal belief that swearing is bad English but its rather silly to find it offensive.
Anyway apart from my rambling I do quite like what his music.
