Get your finger out your nose, you dirty

[Avalon]

b*gger! I heard this on a local radio station tonight just after 7 pm as part of a jingle or advertising, not sure which. I was shocked and complained to the radio station. The thing is, I don't listen to radio - is this sort of language normal these days and so am I overreacting?

Anyone? I would really like some opinions on this.

Sorry but i dont find it offensive at all, lots more things worth complaining about and getting upset about. I'm sure others follow your standards though, bump it up tomorrow.

I'm not shocked by the language itself at all, I'm bothered by the fact that my kids could have heard it. Is this really the level of radio today?

I notice "language" as it were, on Radio 4 now, but I just had to accept it was grown up radio! I think a local radio station should probably have excercised a little restraint though!

I'm a hypocrite though - I also use that word... ahem.

i think you cant protect your kids from words like that, they hear allsorts. My personal attitude is not to make a fuss or highlight its an issue, its just a word at the end of the day. To be perfectly honest i do swear, not all the time but i cant help myself sometimes. Nothing has happened as a consequence, they certainly don't copy me.
I have a big issue with censorship and hiding things from kids but thats an entirely different subject altogether. I just think worse things can happen to a child than being exposed to the word bugger.
