I've done this before, but thought I'd try it again. This time, my blog is rated "PG" for parental guidance. The reason? I used the word "whore" three times, and the word "sexy" once.

I'm tempting the fates by putting my words above the fold this time.
death (15x) dangerous (11x) sex (8x) crap (7x) hell (6x) dead (5x) murder (4x) bitch (3x)
It seems that the naughty word sensor on that site gets burned out rather quickly, because it didn't pick up "whore" or "sexy" this time,…
I usually try to stick to PG topics around here, and try to include a picture in every post. Well, I'm about to break both of those rules. Actually, I had plans to write about beavers this week... but this (coincidentally?) came up instead. ScienceBlogs has gone a-buzz over bikini waxing, since…

"How many times you poke me?" she asked. Then, in her heavily accented English, "Dr. Better never took this long for LP. Five minutes, always."
I made empathetic noises, apologized a few times, and tried to focus on the needle I was moving in and out of her back. I'd done four lumbar punctures…
Well, mine is rated G (not surprising, it's not in English). But, something tickled the rate-o-meter, "penas" (Portuguese for feathers).
Maybe it doesn't like birds.
It's ridiculous. My site is NC-17. I'm not American, but even I know that rating implies a level of sick depravity from which high school students need to be protected.
So why was this? Just 8 words used a total of 30 times in a site of well over 30 thousand words. Yet I never swore at all!
But can't we have serious discussion about life and death. How much does fear of hell inspire behavior? Are there sex differences in preferred web site design? Discussing whether whale slaughter is murder? The word bitch was quoted just once even then in a positive non-derogatory sense.
Is satire really dead? Are those words really so dangerous to American youth? If yes, be scared ...
