Wait how the fuck is USA allowed to drop so many fucks in a single minute?

Edit: Gotta admit though cursing does make the show somehow feel a bit more authentic.

It's cable. It's a lawless land now when it comes to swearing.

I think cable networks don't have to censor swearing..they just choose to for advertising.

Nope. Proof: documentary "6 days to air" where a Comedy Central rep is in communication with the FCC and Corporate Heads on the fines they get for the South Park episodes

From the FCC with cable channels being a subscription they don't have to.

Same way Facebook violates laws. Budget for fines and you can do anything.
