You could edit Obama's Press Conference, and achieve the same effect without swear words.
15 straight minutes of "Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh...Uh..."

I just saw this a couple of hours ago. Hilarious; the S.O. and I just sort of sat there transfixed.

Yeah, Obama needs to get his uh's under control when pausing.

To just edit every swear word in the Sopranos into one montage is just kind of stupid.

First time I haven't suffered terminal depression after reading a Balko post.
HooooRaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

The needless cursing is one reason I never watched the Sopranos. Obama's pauses are obviously necessary so that Greg Craig can feed him the answers. 4 years of watching this guy is going to leave me hairless.

Someone should do a version for Deadwood. Now there's some good cussing.

So this is where Michelle learned to give a speech. Four years of her is going to make me a confirmed drinker.

Then watch it on A&E - the cursing is dubbed over.
I found the profanity appropriate in the Sopranos, though. I figure its how those guys probably really talk.
In Deadwood, for some reason, I found it anachronistic and jarring.

In Deadwood, for some reason, I found it anachronistic and jarring.
The intent was to be jarring, like the west itself. But if the swearing had been of its time, it wouldn't have been jarring to modern audiences. Ya cocksucker.
Neu Mejican|2.10.09 @ 2:45PM|#
Impressively restricted and unimaginative cursing vocabulary.
|2.10.09 @ 3:47PM|#
I'm not entirely sure how anachronistic the swearing in Deadwood is.
Clearly, the language evolves over time, but surely these words were not invented yesterday. I can't remember where but i seem to recall reading something from the late 1700s that had swearwords that would have been perfectly familiar today.
And I'm fairly sure that the acts they describe were the staples of any good 1870s whorehouse.
|2.10.09 @ 3:49PM|#
Not that I was ever in an 1870s whorehouse, mind you.
