You Can’t Say Shit on TV

But you can say Merde (French for Shit)

I find it interesting that the FCC won't allow the English word 'shit' but when Patrick Stewart as Capt. Jean Luc Picard in a moment of exasperation says "merde" in French it is OK, even with captioning.

This was in the episode "Elementary, Dear Data," which aired on Dec. 3, 1988.

 

I thought it was spelled MAIRD (Thats the right spelling )

 

...unless you're South Park.

Are you French? I didn't spell it, the ppl who made the subtitles did and Merde (pronouncedd Maird) is very similar to the Spanish mierda.

 

Loved the South Park "Shit, Shitterdy, Shit, Shit, Shit "
Like the continued Reference in Red Dwarf to "Smeg" or Battlestar Galactica of "Frack" - we all know, or can guess the meaning !?!
((Maybe it's just more "Poetic?))

 

I remember the 7 bad words from George Carlin; shit piss fuck **** cocksucker motherfucker tits.

Canadian TV's not nearly so strict.
