What does this prove? To me, it shows that Hollywood equates the f-word with drama. It is getting boring. Hollywood and George Carlin are a little too obsessed with it.
What would be dramatic without it? That's what I'd like to know. Maybe we could get to the heart of the issue, the substance of conveying real-life drama though entertainment media that way.
