Offensive Language

One change that I find disturbing here in SW Florida is the proliferation of offensive language in store names, menu offerings, brand labeling, and product advertisement in local establishment. I never had to worry about that kind of stuff here in America, and now I suddenly face the need to steer my child from a litany of fucks, asses, jerks, and worse.

As somewhat of an aside, if you decide to read Sarma’s memoir, please be forewarned that she overuses the f-word to an extraordinary degree. I’m a literary critic and no vocabulary in literature bothers me. But when it’s used randomly and repetitively for no purpose, that is simply bad writing.

  1. Have you ever seen the dystopia film “Idiocracy”? This is one sign of the encroaching idiocratic future.

    Too late. We’re there. Movie’s still worth seeing, though.
