This is really f#$%&ing crazy

If ABC One's decision to screen the Australian Story on Michael Chugg at 8pm despite setting a new record in swearing is perplexing what happened next is just madness.
Apparently it is justified to air Chugg repeatedly dropping the F word in a timeslot normally restricted to coarse language which is "mild and infrequent" but writing the word is offensive.
The transcript of the show replaces the word with f***. Go figure. Either the word is rude or it isn't.
Bizarrely, the ABC's position on the word wanker is even more confusing. It is written in full twice but in the same transcript appears later as w****r.
Perhaps it is time for the ABC's Standing Committee on Spoken English - the body which claims to exist so broadcasters and journalists can check all aspects of spoken and written English – to start a f@#$ing debate on the subject.
