A writer observes about Howard Stern moving to satellite radio where there are no censors:
Oddly, there was a charm to the censorship that forced the team to invent hilariously creative means for discussing raunchy topics with substitute topics. Somehow openly saying [expletives deleted] just isn't going to feel the same.
It's rare you see someone stumble close to the problem with "anything goes" media. Not only does it drag down the morals of society. It's also stupid. Any dolt can be vulgar, but it takes intelligence to be funny, especially to be funny while also keeping an eye on decency. Such a feat requires the speaker to "keep two balls in the air at once." It takes mental agility.
