I only know of two occasions when the C word has gone to air. Once on the ABC
and once on SBS (not counting in subtitles). The former was a musical using it
as a noun (and not at all vulgar I might add), the latter an Australian movie.

Something I've always found very funny is the fact that in the song blubber
boy Regurgitator clearly say the word cunt. (rub me on your cunt i'll come
back again), yet i've heard it on commercial stations, seen it aired on GZ,
recovery, etc.

It does seem that the F word is gaining more acceptance on mainstream TV
these days, occasionally with the 'M' and more frequently with 'MA' rating.
However, the C word is still generally taboo, even in neo-risque shows such
as 'Sex and the City' and 'Rude Awakening'.
However, you will find that any show containing the F word will warn of
'coarse language' before the start of the program.

It seems to help a lot if it has been used as a verb.

i recall a midday show with ray martin segment where he had a lawyer on the
show... the lawyer was relating his most unusual experience... and it had to
do with a cockatoo being used as evidence because it talked a lot... the
lawyer said the cockatoo used colourful language ... and ray said it would
be okay to say it...
the lawyer used the c word... ray was not at all ammused...
anyone else remember this segment?

Maybe the execs didn't realise. Korn's 'Freak on A Leash' has 'fuck' in it
and is still used in everything from Sports Tonight to E! News... the vowel
sound in it is just deleted/softened beyond recognition. The same for the
'f' word in Blink 182's Dammit, which has been used in Dawson's Creek.
One regurgitator song I've never seen on mainstream TV, is "I Sucked A Lot
Of Cock To Get Where I Am." The Herald Sun even referred to it plainly as
"...To Get Where I Am", to avoid controversy.

The recently aired three-part advertising special on SBS "The Art of
Separating People From Their Money" (or similar). During the intro with
Dennis Hopper they played a portion of a "Derek and Clive" sketch which
made very liberal use of said word...

Also in the "Shock" episode of The Fine Art of Separating People From
Their Money on SBS a couple of weeks ago, they played a 90-second
segment from a Dudley Moore/Peter Cook sketch to show how repetition
decreases our shock at swearing. The segment was basically the two of
them repeating the phrase "you f**king c**t" over and over again.

I heard from someone that works at our local Ch9 subsidiary that the "c"
word will be uttered soon on Sex and the City.

You f**king c**t! Who are you calling a c**t, you f**king c**t?!
Classic comedy moment.
To add my two cents, I heard Whoopi Goldberg utter 'cunt' near the end
of "Boys on the Side" - on Channel Ten, as I recall.

Unless it's live. Yesterday's Queensland 500 had a section where the
commentators say of a pit discussion 'let's listen to what they are
saying'... What follows is a fucking lot of "fucks" for an afternoon
slot. They didn't even bother cutting to something else. I guess they
think Brian Harradine doesn't watch the V8 Supercars.
Speaking of the Queensland 500- the sound sucked. Ten ought to be shot-
for that and their commentators. At least Barry was away.

They were actually promoting next weeks ep as such tonight. "The word
you thought you'd never hear" or some such.
BTW, SATC (not Shell Australian Touring Cars!!) had quite a lot of the F
word on tonight and an awful lot of "up the butt" talk!! Goodness, those
Americans are getting risque!

Quite so, I'd forgotten that - I had watched that, and even recognised it the
extract as from the release of Derek & Clive on CD (which incidentally was
on/off shelves over here as it was banned/unbanned a few times).
No-one asked/guessed what mine were so:
- one was Pack of Women, where Tracy Harvey did the honours in a song;
- the other was in the movie My First Wife.
