Bugger the Bastard at LONDON DAILY MAIL re. Peter O'Toole Censorship

Last time I checked, the word "BASTARD" was still in the dictionary, and among other things, a pseudonym for an illegitimate child.

The British word "BUGGER," is so old it's as toothless as the orifice that usually gets buggered. It's more often used as a noun, and a pseudonym for bastard. As in "poor old bastard" or "poor old bugger." How are either of these ancient, familiar, mild terms offensive, especially from old PETER O'TOOLE?

We're getting pretty coy and silly with the asterisks. Psst...when you pronounce that last word, asterisk, you're saying "ass..." so maybe asterisk itself should be rendered as ******* for having an ass to risk.

B***** or the "N-word" or the "C-word" or the "F-word" -- what's the point if we all know what that word actually is?

Who is the London Daily Mail to censor Peter O'Toole?? Who would've been offended by "Bastard" and "Bugger," especially in a newspaper that routinely prints rude photos of idiot celebrity "wardrobe malfunctions," grotesque pictures of victims of violence, and the hate-screeds of religious fanatics? Why not censor coverage of crimes such as school shootings, on the grounds that publicizing them only encourages copycats?

We all know which words Peter O'Toole was using, so who was being spared here? A few little old ladies? A few 4 year-olds just beginning to learn to read?

Somebody decides for Peter O'Toole what the public is allowed to hear from him? There's now a law against "bugger" and "bastard" even when used in a colorful, comic way?

B-word, B-word, you F-words at the London Daily Mail! Eat S-word!
