I found it very interesting that on ABC FAMILY channel, a channel that promotes how family friendly it is and how it's every age appropriate, during a commercial for the movie "The Notebook" my delicate little ears heard a harsh word whose initials are "g" and "d" - the words, uncensored and plain as day. Yet on MTV, a channel that is not known for it's appropriateness or it's moral convictions, on a show recapping the TV series "The Hills", this guy doing commentary censored himself by saying "A-hole" - just the letter "a" and the word "hole". HOWEVER, the censors at MTV found it necessary to bleep out the word "hole".

My question: Why is it necessary to keep my delicate ears from hearing the word "hole"? When did "hole" become a dirty word? And more important, when did "g-d" become a family friendly word appropriate for all ages?

I can't be the only person concerned with this.
