Clearly some unseasonal rain has flushed out some troglodytic spawn of Satan. Apparently Helen Mirren, by using some English words (including one utilised by that potty-mouthed swear meister, Geoffrey Chaucer) to express her relief at not falling over at an awards' ceremony, has offended some by-blows of Tipper Gore.
Are these the same kind of night grown mushrumps and vile torpedoes that censor children's libraries so that the kiddy winkies won't be exposed to Harry Potter for fear of turning into Anton La Vey ?
Oh no! Clearly hearing *** and arse will induce Tyler and Tayla to rush out and purchase some illegal handguns and kill their schoolfellows.
I do hope these linguistic milquetoasts wander into a showing of 'The Commitments' or 'Trainspotting' to see what earthy vulgarity is really like.
With any luck, their heads will explode.
Meanwhile, a word from our sponsors, Heckler and Koch.

Helen Mirren has been attacked for "vulgar and obscene" comments she made during the Emmy Awards live telecast last Sunday.
The British actress raised giggles at the Los Angeles ceremony when she joked she almost fell "a** over t*t" as she stepped up to receive one of the night's Best Actress awards for her portrayal of Elizabeth I--but one family group wasn't amused.
Washington, D.C.-based The Parents Television Council has reprimanded Mirren and Calista Flockhart, who repeated the phrase minutes later.
PTC officials feel studio bosses at NBC, the network that broadcast the Emmys, should have censored the two stars' comments.
PTC President L. Brent Bozell says, "It is utterly irresponsible and atrocious for NBC to air this vulgar language...when millions of children were in the viewing audience."
The family values organization has filed a complaint with broadcasting watchdogs the Federal Communications Commission.
