    find your nearest police officer, approach mindfully, say "you are a fucking cunt."

    It's OK if you rapidly follow it with the word "Stable". The Officer would then have to prove they were a virgin for it to be defamatory. It is not the words, per se, but the intended offence.

    Advertising is meant to slip in under your consciousness, not be something you consciously choose to buy

    Au contraire Mr. W. Advertising is a way of having fun with your profits as opposed to giving it to the taxman. Why else would someone cough up ten grand toward a party for a bunch of internet geeks.

    Though it might be nice if at least occasionally it came at the expense of rich white wankers instead of the usual targets.

    Did you not get the Memo?

    But some organization out there is banning words and combinations thereof.

    I fear Mr Talslov has faked an Organisation. Unless, of course, you were referring to the FCC Mr. T

    it just doesn't have anything to do with this issue.

    What do you think this is? an internet thread or something?
    Now, to get back on topic. I must go to Bunnings and buy a new spatula for my hotplate.

    There were gasps, apparently, from members of the audience, when the offending words were spoken and the offending orgasm faked.

    Nah, they were faking offence.

    Generally the same ones who insist they're just doing their job when they do it ...

    Yes, it goes hand in glove with the boot being on the other foot, as they say in places where people wear their hearts on their sleeves.

    Having appeared on TV with Paul Henry many times, I can confirm the impression that in person he is often funny and charming. Unfortunately, on camera, he is sometimes a mean-spirited bully.

    You mean the camera lies, damn it, whooda thought.
    So, watching your vicious blood chilling attacks on the hapless victims of Media7 is just an illusion?
