>>> "...everything should have time and place. I do not, and shall not consider speaking in front of a college audience such a place." <<<It's ironic that you find the use of obscenities in a speech given before a group of relatively mature college students familiar with Kevin Smith's work and hip counterculture standing inappropriate and more offensive than the use of salty invective to describe films you dislike in a forum that can be easily accessed by unsupervised minors!
See anything wrong with this picture? No offense, but you should at least be aware of how hypocritical this rationalization looks. The fact is, written language requires even MORE care than spoken because in print deciphering the context is a much more difficult needle to thread unless you know the person.
FTR, I have no problem with profanity in the broader context of a speech OR a film review calling for it, but expletives issued in a jejune fashion are antoher matter entirely. I presume that Kevin Smith's use of colorful language in a college setting was entirely appropriate. I'm not even critical of the moderate use of colorful invective HERE, given the full context of a film review or an in-depth analysis that fully validates the use of strong language.
I think you need to do a bit more reflecting on this Victor, if you don't mind my saying so.
