The article contains graphic language, so I'm not posting a link to the story. If you would like the link to the story, email me- dustin@hillcrestbaptistchurch.org- and I will provide the link to the full story. Below is a quote from PTC (Parents Television Council) President Tim Winter:
“Our results show that when an expletive is introduced on television, usage of the word becomes commonplace in fairly short order. Then the broadcast networks feel the need to up the ante with even more offensive profanity. The result is that there is a significant increase in the overall use of profanity on the public airwaves, and an escalation in the offensiveness of the words used. While certain expletives may become ‘commonplace’ to network executives, they must keep in mind that most parents do not want their children bombarded by those words during hours when they’re most likely to be in the audience.”
