Cawring Hans Brinker…

Potty pootied Dutch need to stuff a finger in it. Fresh from voting ‘nee’ on the EU Constitution, the Dutch have turned their societal laser beams on another serious problem.

Village cracks down on foul-mouthed Dutch
Ban imposed on swearing, except for #@$%&*( free speech.
AMSTERDAM – The name of the Lord may no longer be taken in vain in the Dutch village of Staphorst.


Okay, let’s review. We don’t want no steekin’ constitution and don’t you dare say ‘goddammit !!!‘. But in the spirit of freedom and tolerance we Dutch all embrace, these strictures aren’t meant to impede your living your culture to the fullest. You are still free to knife to death anyone you disagree with, as long as you keep it clean.

    I recall that a legislator tried to do this in Utah some years back. Actually, I think he actually tried to ban all swearing.

    Sad.

    Oh wait, I can, because it doesn’t take The Big Guy’s name in vain.

    Yes, but retrospectively all Steppenwolf recordings will henceforth become “Doggone the Pusherman”

    OTOH, students will no longer be forced to read Waiting for G**ot.
