You betray a prudish nature of your own when you accuse CBS of trying to be shocking and edgy by doing something so lame.

I mean, it’s edgy for CBS, I’ll give it that. But that’s not really very edgy, is it?

Arguably, the only reason they included a (fake) expletive into the title of a TV show was to sound edgy… but really, do you actually need that to sell your show to the public? Could they not have called it “Stuff My Dad Says” and gotten the same basic idea across? People who already knew the website would’ve picked up on it (either directly or indirectly), and people who didn’t know about the website wouldn’t have any chance to be offended in the first place.

Shit, I oughtta run these god damn fucking TV networks.
