Channel 4 Advert - Celebs Swearing

I assume that this advert is genuine. (Can anyone comfirm?) If so, it only serves to convince me even further that the FCC (and Americans in general) are too tightly wound when it comes to prohibiting certain words.

Gratuitous and excessive violence and blood = A-OK.
Sex, swearing, nudity = FORBIDDEN.

WTF?? :shrug:

2. It's a British ad -- part of a series of ads where Channel 4 peeps

were asked a variety of things -- when they lost their virginity, most embarrassing moment, etc. Channel 4 carries a fair few American shows whose stars clearly enjoyed swearing! This particular ad has to my knowledge never aired, but was intended to go viral online.

3. I thought that I had seen it.

It possible that a mixture of the other ones with the inevitable (though very restrainedly British) furore over it has played a trick on my memory...

It would definitely have been after the watershed.
