Filmrot muses on the word “fuck”:
The word “fuck” has recently attracted the cinematic spotlight. There’s a documentary featuring the word on the way, Utah-based DVD Rental companies have staked entire marketing efforts around sanitizing it from films, and Wikipedia even has an f-word list, which ranks films based on the number of times the four-letter word is used. “Fuck” has never been bigger, nor more accepted by theater-goers.

The YouTube video Star Trek TOS – Knights of the Round Table is pretty damn funny…
