FCC Bans the Word #@&##

WASHINGTON--The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced today that its Dirty Remarks Committee had unanimously decided to ban the use of the word #@&##.

According to FCC Chairman Michael Powell, though #@&## -ing is a totally natural human function, and despite that fact that everyone #@&##-s, the use of the word #@&## is far too obscene to be printed, broadcast or spoken in the presence of a medical professional.

"The time had simply come for us to ask ourselves **@$%#-ing hard questions, like what right do we as humans have to circulate words that seek to communicate the realities of the human experience?" said Powell. "When you think of it like that, banning these vulgar terms is a bit of a no-brainer."

John Mulbern, a free speech @#(## representing the (@=+!!@ Speech Organization of $$*@!@, responded to news of the ban with a simple, "That's #@##-ed up."

Mulbern was later fined $387,000 for that comment.

Recently, the FCC has embarked on an aggressive campaign to remove inflammatory or +@#$% words that cause @$#$% Americans to feel (:@@# from the English $%@#. If successful, the #$@#$ group will effectively @#$#$ the ability for #$^&* to #\@!@ without the &^$#@#$ or use of a &^#@$.
