It is all about context with some words


Few years back, I lived on Nassau Dr., and was trying to enter my address on some online form that apparently had some software intended to keep people from typing obscenities for some reason, and every time I spelled the street name, when I typed the "A-S-S" a pop-up window kept appearing and saying "Please refrain from using the word "arse"...it was hilarious; I literally was not allowed to order whatever it was b/c I lived on a 'nasty' street....

Yeah, I think that half a stadium yelling "cocks" is just BEGGING for someone to add "suckers"!

So we'll have to drop TGBFTL and move to loud, piped-in music? Maybe the administration will break up the student section into parts? This has the real potential of not ending well. When I was 18-22 and a student at LSU, I would've been with you. In the grown-up world, there is image and brand to manage. This is not a conspiracy to squash you by the man. This is an attempt to not have words like dick, bitch, arse, cock, etc. resounding from the student section of LSU on national TV. That's all.


That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is the real way to prevent these things from gaining traction is to stop cracking down in the first place. If you let the students chant whatever kind of retarded B.S. they want and don't an the songs they chant it to, they'll probably get bored with it and stop chanting it on their own. The only reason this stuff gets traction is because it gives the students the opportunity to "stick it to the man". You can't "stick it to the man" if "the man" doesn't give a shite. If you ignore it and never ban anything, it will go away. Also, just get the older fans to sing along to the correct words and you won't have this problem either.
