But that their appearance on a prime- Real Estate time show was eagerly promoted by ABC, a network owned by family- Classifieds friendly Disney, confirms a cultural shift in Americans' feelings about profanity. Money & Investing VisitOmaha! Cursing crowds into the dialogues of most movies, the lyrics of many songs and everyday conversation. Advertise With Us Community Partners "It took centuries to make some of these words taboo, and it's going to take one generation to wear them out," said Robert Thompson, http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=0&u_pg=57&u_sid=634477 professor of popular culture at Syracuse University in New York. "When this generation becomes grandparents, there is going to be no way to shock the older generation." Critics of this proliferation of profanity say it coarsens the English language and could even harm society. Sarpy Co. News "When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to have a serious discussion about racism, segregation and other social problems, he didn't pepper his speech with this kind of language," said Barbara Dilly, an anthropology professor at Creighton University in Omaha. The language of swearing is harsh, said Jim O'Connor, president of the Cuss Control Academy based in Lake Forest, Ill., and it can lead to a more coarse, vicious and violent society. "What happened to courtesy? What happened to manners? What happened to civility?" O'Conner asked. "Swearing is angry language. We get too angry too easily these days. We need to calm down and think about what we're saying." Corrine Gregory, a child-behavior expert and program director of the Polite Child, a suburban Seattle-based group, said a society that accepts swearing in everyday language makes it more difficult to educate children on manners. QwestDex "We are becoming numb to the effects of swearing, and that is most definitely a bad thing," she said. "If you look at the bigger picture, we're Member Services becoming immune to so many violent, horrific and coarse types of Current Advertisers things. We are becoming less and less civilized, and our language is the first key to that." Mapquest Weather Naughty words certainly didn't originate with TV and movies: The Bus Routes ultimate profanity dates to the 13th century. And Lenny Bruce swore his way through the comedy circuit in the 1940s and '50s, decades before Carlin, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock. But TV and movies have become coarser. Andy Griffith didn't unload a string of profanities on Opie when he got out of line in fictional Mayberry in the 1960s and '70s. The trend toward swearing on network TV started in the late 1970s and early '80s "with a few 'hells' and 'damns' sprinkled in," said a spokeswoman for the Parents Television Council, which denounced the networks for the incidents involving Bono and the Osbournes. "But in the last 10 years," said Melissa Caldwell, director of research for the Los Angeles-based council, "there has been a constant pushing of the boundaries until now parents have very few family viewing options on broadcast television." Historically, said Thompson, the Syracuse professor, swearing was something - like rock 'n' roll - that young people used to define themselves against authority. "Now that has no meaning, which may mean they have to look to other ways to express feelings of anger and dissension, including, I'm sorry to say, guns and knives." Just how much profanity harms society is a matter of some debate, but Dilly, the Creighton professor, thinks the words - or even their proliferation - aren't the problem. The problem, she said, is that our cultural discussions tend to stop at the propriety of profanity rather than moving on to more serious or important topics. http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=0&u_pg=57&u_sid=634477 "If the amount of energy we spend on trying to stamp out profanity on TV was used for other causes, we could accomplish a lot of great things," she said. "We hear those words and we stop thinking, and lack of thought is a real dangerous thing." Tame your tongue Recognize that swearing does damage. Profanity is the language of intimidation. It's hurtful and offensive to others. Think positively. Swearing stems from anger. Look for ways to be happier. Cope, don't cuss. Ask yourself if swearing will actually help the situation. Use alternative words. English is a colorful language, but chronic cursers repeatedly use the same, unimaginative words that have been around for centuries. Think of what you should have said. After you blurt an expletive, simply say the tamer word you wished you had said. Over time, these exercises will train you to think and act differently. Work at it. Stopping will take practice.

  • Jack Osbourne Goes Public with Multiple Sclerosis
    JUNE/JULY 2013 BY LINDA CHILDERS Jack Osbourne Goes Public With Multiple Sclerosis During spring of last year, Jack Osbourne began experiencing puzzling symptoms. On location in Utah to film Haunted Highway, his television series about the paranormal, the 27-year-old television star (and son of legendary rocker Ozzy and media personality Sharon) was shooting a scene that required him to scuba dive into a cold lake at night. He emerged from the water with a migraine-like headache. The next day, he awoke to find his eyesight blurry. As his vision became progressively worse, Osbourne made an appointment with his doctor, who referred him to a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. After extensive testing—including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture (spinal tap)—Osbourne was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS)—the most common form of the degenerative, neurologic condition. The news came as a shock to Osbourne, who was introduced to audiences in The Osbournes. This hugely popular MTV reality series ran from 2002 to 2005 and featured the domestic life of his family. Engaged last year to his longtime girlfriend, Lisa Stelly, Osbourne had been anticipating one of the happiest years of his life. Two weeks prior to his diagnosis, he and Lisa had celebrated the birth of their daughter, Pearl, and were busy planning their wedding. Suddenly, Osbourne faced an uncertain future. "When I was diagnosed, I immediately thought of comedian Richard Pryor, who had MS," Osbourne says. "I envisioned being in a wheelchair a couple of years down the road and thought that was it-game over." It's not uncommon for people who are diagnosed with MS to initially fear the worst, says neurologist Barbara Giesser, M.D., Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and professor of clinical neurology and clinical director of the Multiple Sclerosis Program at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoy. Hi, Jack. Jack: Hi, Lily. Lily: It's so great to see you. It's been like- Jack: Likewise. Lily: -a million years, I think. Jack: Yes, it has been, yes. You were a very small humanoid, I think, when I last saw you. Lily: So, there are a lot of things that can cause kids to grow up faster than they normally would and something that has definitely been my experience has been growing up being born into the public eye or growing up in the entertainment industry. I'm curious if that's something that you experienced, if you feel like that made you grow up a little bit faster. Jack: Absolutely. It was funny talking about relating to my upbringing.

  • Jack Osbourne: Sharon Struggles with Bad News

  • 2013 Newsletter
    20th Anniversary “Love to Erase MS” On Friday, May 3, 2013, we celebrated our 20th Anniversary Race to Erase MS. Honorees at this year’s gala included Sharon Osbourne and Jack Osbourne, who were honored for their many contributions to heightening the profile and edu- cating the public about MS and for doing every- thing possible to help raise funds for research. Hosts for the evening were Neil Patrick Harris, Terrence Jenkins and Marg Helgenberger.
