Things that CRACK me up, #31
Why? Well, for one thing, the frequent use of the word "crack." Also for repeated discussion of dicey, dangerous things like "suicide," "death," and "dead." And the one-time use of the word "queer."
Meh.

It picked me up on gay, of all things. I knew the program wouldn't like my blog given a recent post about bad language (didn't mention... well other words I used which are very strong swearwords), but gay?
I also followed a link from the result to another quiz "How much is your cadaver worth?" Apparently mine would be worth $5055. Although I have a feeling it might not have asked the right questions...
Wheelie Catholic has this rating too because of "suicide" "death" the word "dangerous" and a few other things...while A Different Light is still PG13.
I'll clearly have to try harder.
I actually got an R! And the warning is a lurid red!!! This is hysterical!
I go to a lot of trouble to keep my language, if not spotless, at least suitable for teenagers. I do this because I think some of what I have to say could be of use to amputated kids as well as amputated adults. In the interest of reflecting reality, I am not above using * forms of words (e.g., sh*t, f*ck) in order to both accurately quote someone and express intense emotion. But there are words which are vulgar, which would have gotten my mouth washed out with Ivory soap when I was seven or eight years old if my mom'd heard me say 'em, which I use freely because I think they're common slang now, not obscenities. Words like "ass" and "bitch."
These are the words which got me an R rating:
• ass (8x)
• death (4x)
• hurt (3x)
• bitch (2x)
• limbs (1x)
It must just be scanning the first page. I know I've said "bitch" way more often than that, not to mention "limbs."
This here is some righteous Victorian-ass sensibility-type sh*t!
(Note how I considerately use the asterisk to avoid f*cking up your rating. On the other hand, now that I've mentioned every single word that got me an R rating, maybe yours'll go up, too. Sorry.)
Thanks, Sara, for sharing the love. ;P
And, my cadaver is worth $6055, which is interesting. It doesn't explain if peculiarities make one more valuable or less.
these blog rating things are hilarious...You got an NC-17...
And I got a G...
go figure...
Amazing. The words 'death', 'dead', 'disabled' ect are considered inappropiate. Sanitizing media, or trying to help parents moniter or limit what their kids get into on-line?
