Seems like you can't make a doll these days without horribly offending delicate parents— just yesterday adults were getting all up in arms over a tattooed Barbie, and now, Toys R Us is in hot water for selling a talking doll that some say utters the phrase "Okay, crazy b*tch." more ›

Queens city councilman Dan Halloran has allegedly been caught on tape berating the manager of an auto repair shop for not taking care of noise complaints the dealership has received. "He had anger in his eyes. He was standing a foot in front of me, pointing at me," manager Elliott Rothman told the Daily News. A video that the newspaper is selfishly not posting on the internet apparently shows Halloran saying, "I'll park every f*cking city agency down here for the rest of f*cking two years." Rothman adorably told the paper, "I couldn't believe this was a politican acting like that." more ›

Sure, airplane passengers have been thrown off flights for joking about bombs, but being thrown off a flight for dropping the F-bomb seems like a new one: Brooklyn resident Robert Sayegh says he was thrown off an Atlantic South Airlines flight to Newark Liberty Airport after he complained, "What's taking so (expletive) long to close the overhead compartments?" Hey, the plane had been at the gate at Detroit's Metro Airport for 45 minutes without moving! more ›

Rev. Al Sharpton's ex-wife and daughter are off the hook on charges of obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, harassment and disorderly conduct, after unleashing a string of curse words at cops in Harlem. Today they received an dismissal of charges, provided they aren't arrested in the next six months (23-year-old Dominique Sharpton was recently involved in an alleged domestic abuse incident), reports the Post. "In America, you have the right to object to police action," said the women's lawyer. "And certainly you should not be arrested and prosecuted for objecting if you've committed no crime." more ›

An NYPD spokesman this weekend cleared up a common curiosity: cursing at cops can't get you canned. NYPD's Paul Browne told the Times City section that New Yorkers were within their rights to mouth off at officers. In response to a reader's query "Are there any limits to what I can say to a New York police officer?" civil liberties lawyer Norman Sigel added, “It’s legally protected, and I advise people not to curse at anyone, including police officers, but if you do, it’s not grounds for an arrest.” The paper then clarified that threatening an officer or attempting to incite a riot however might not be the safest way to keep yourself on the right side of the law. Ironically, it's getting tougher for cops themselves to get away with dropping expletives...at least on the big screen. more ›

Cursing on the job is a hazard for not just TV newscasters. One cabbie was fined for his swears at another cabbie! more ›

Sure, the stress and time pressures of the kitchen inevitably spark infernos of obscenity, but recent shows like Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen have exposed the salty language of star chefs to untold millions. Last week’s Top Chef episode raised eyebrows for its higher-than-normal profanity quotient, when contestants lit into each other with so much F-bombing “the resulting bleeps ran together like a test of the old Emergency Broadcast System,” according to the Times. more ›
