Profanity in commercials?

[slackerinabox]

Saw a commercial (on local tv, notcable) for Knocked Up featuring the line "She's old, you're pregnant, can't have a bunch of old and pregnant b*Tches running around"

I didn't know that they could air profanity on commercials.. Am I wrong and have there been other commercials with profanity, even soft ones like "ass?"

"bitch" is not considered profanity on tv

bitch is not really considered profanity on TV or radio.

honestly wouldn't surprise me. Look at Comedy Central, everything is getting more and more uncensored as time passes by.

I know, "bitch," "ass," and "dick" are considered soft profanities, I know they're said on primetime tv but have never seen them used in commercials. Have you?

If you combine them together like "punk-ass bitch" do they become a hard profanity?

Stop being so reactionary, I'm don't give two sh1ts about your children's ears are my non-existent kids. I'm just curious if there's ever been a commercial before where they've said bitch or even ass.
