| THE potty-mouthed British chef Gordon Ramsay has so raised the ire of the Senate that it agreed yesterday to hold an inquiry into swearing on television and what more could be done about it.
The motion to hold the inquiry was moved by the South Australian Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi after a recent episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in which the abrasive gastronome dropped the F-bomb 80 times.
That episode screened at 8.30pm on Channel Nine. Another that offended the senator, in which Ramsay used the C-word twice, screened at 9.30.
Labor and the minor parties voted with the Coalition yesterday to establish the inquiry, which would concentrate on free-to-air TV. Senator Bernardi promised it would be brief.

| Just listen to this politico-statist cocksucker: - Quote :
"If I stood up in Parliament and used the type of language that is now being broadcast over our television screens, there would be public outrage," he said. Well fuck you, who gives a shit if you did xyz or not! As if because he can't do it, nobody should be able to, motherfucker!

- Other shows that have attracted Senator Bernardi's disdain are Big Brother, The Sopranos and Sex And The City.
Degenerate politico-statist! |
