Podium Profanity

[John S]

Seems I'm always late to the party these days..I thought this summed up my own thoughts quite nicely.....

 

I'm sure though that Mr Fry was aiming his bolt at adult pique. He is I suspect well aware childrens exposure to profanity needs treating a little more cautiously; isn't this the real and only objection to foul mouthed drivers.

When I was a wee lad, I learned a lot of new words when Dad was working on our old Falcon sedan.

And I learned plenty from my older brother.  It doesn't matter if the TV is on or not, there is no way you can protect children from the bad bits.

Another way to look at it is that F1 is touted as family entertainment, effing and jeffing has no place in family entertainment.

My dad was a mechanic, a WW2 soldier, and a member of a number of boys clubs like Elks, VFW etc. Don't remember him saying anything worse than a very occasional Dammit. Nor were any of his friends potty mouths. My senior English teacher said profanity showed a poverty of imagination. It's not necessary, and the way these guys use it, doesn't really mean anything. But if it offends fans, it's bad for the sport.

Agree with Lonny totally, profanity is lack of imagination, and just shows how gross that person be.. Making such foul words will never be cool for me, and person saying will always be regarded as a retard by myself..

In radio transmission, when you are handling a 200 mph beast, you could say what ever you want to, I don't mind at all.. But standing in the stage and speaking them in front of crowd and world media, I would certainly mind..

And for Mr. Fry, don't try to impose your irrational, childish behavior onto others..

You ever been in public office F1fanaticBD cause that's about the best example of speaking out the both sides of one's mouth I've read for a while. Just sayin'!
