No - there isn't enough breadth in the obscene vocabulary there. Combinations of the "F-word" don't really count for all that much. I'm sure there's places with worse.
If you substitute the F-word with "smurf" I think that would make the language either more disgusting or humorous (depending on your viewpoint), though less likely to show up on searches.
