[rfu-automation] Fwd: song with profanity

[Joe Futrelle]

It is not correct that the word "ass" is not permitted--there is no specific
set of "forbidden words" that the FCC uses when judging complaints.
I'm not arguing against removing the song, if the context of the word was
such that it seems likely to be considered profanity. I'm just making sure
people understand that there is no list of forbidden words, and so we should
be looking for profane material on the basis of its content, not just its
choice of words.
