Just had to get this down before I forget:
Was watching some of the history of swearing on our screens; it profiled the cutting/dubbing of Alex Cox's Repo Man for TV. They replaced various fucking fuckers, and you fucking stupid fucker wankstain of a bastard etc... with lame substitutes.
This was the greatest gem:
"Fuck you, you mother fucker" was changed to "Flip you, you melon farmer".
Genius.
And in fact it's all deliberate. Alex Cox was asked to dub all the swear words and he did so by substituting them with the stupidest stuff he could think of.
As I said, Genius.
