Imagine my surprise, while reading the newspaper of record this morning, to discover, in the front page
article about the phone call made to Eliot Spitzer's father, that the New York Times had printed the word
shit. I believe that the world has just shifted on its axis.
Shit! You're kidding?
ReplyDelete(I'm kidding.)
That's pretty surprising, actually.
ReplyDeleteI imagine that had to be a big decision for the newspaper. I wonder why they made it?
ReplyDeleteTrying to keep up with the Murdochs, I 'spose. Although, at least it was a direct quote.
ReplyDeleteThat's what knocked me out of bed!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the asterik key wasn't working.
And the definition of what's fit to print expands once again . . .
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I've noticed the language in our national newspaper getting colourful, too. Always only when quoting someone, of course.
