Scherzo: Not to be a stick in the mud, but the sheer amount of times 'fuck' is used in this article makes it unreadable. I know its supposed to demonstrate the trope and all, but you could've really just done it for a single paragraph and done the rest normally. just my thought.
- I think it's justified by Rule of Funny
- Except it isn't funny.
- Scherzo: To me it's just unreadable. Most topics I've seen will use its conceit for a paragraph or two (maybe), before explaining it regularly. The way it is isn't witty or funny, its just... inconvenient. Would anyone want to go about editing it? (sorry for posting this at the top, didn't see the rule)

Meocross: this is a work of art, Kudos to MasterHand
Adam850: I want to de-Bowdlerise this article, but I really don't know how to go about it. Hmm.
Kilyle: Hey, would someone choose a better hallmark of censoring standards than "Fox" for my Fanfiction entry at the bottom of the page? I want it to be like "even people who normally let some swearing get by won't be comfortable with this" but I have no idea which channels are renowned for censorship and which aren't, and which degree would be proper for the joke. Thanks!
Helgatwb: Sometimes the words aren't there just to be daring. Sometimes something happens, and for a few minutes, all you can say is f**k!
Duckluck: OK, does any English speaker above the age of seven seriously not know what "fuck" means? We can censor it entirely, or better yet, respect the quote and leave it alone, but "f*ck" isn't fooling anyone. I know there are some knee jerk censors out there and I just want to say stop. This isn't a site that gets a lot of young visitors (surprisingly, most kids would rather watch TV than read about it), so I have to wonder what the point of all these asterisks is.
Robert Bingham: I could not stop laughing after seeing what Master Hand has done with the page. Fucking brilliant. Made Of Win all the way.
GG Crono: I fucking lol'd. :D
Mr Death: Who took out the Boondock Saints quote? Now that entry doesn't make sense :O
Insanity Prelude: Where's this Red vs. Blue prep video trailer thing? :D
SpiriTsunami: Incredibly, both of this article's neighbors on the Self-Demonstrating Article index are continued onto this page now, out of necessity. The one that precedes it needs to because it's a certain meme that requires you to get cut off mid-sentence after you say its name, and because Self-Demonstrating Article is an index, there's nothing to get cut off once the name is done on that index, and the next one had to suffer; and the one following this one just happens to be Conspiracy Theorist, and having a trope title cut off in the indexing on that page is, well, something that you could build a conspiracy theory on. Behold the wonders of Wiki Magic!
Twin Bird: Okay, I'll bite. What Japanese words are they mispronouncing? Because I'm going through my dictionaries, and I can't find any words similar to "sakka" or "fuakka" that make any sense in this context. I'll give it until I wake up tomorrow, then I'm changing it.
(In any case, does it count as a "Cluster F-Bomb" if it appears one time in one line, even a repeated one?)
I would just like to say that after reading the page description, "fuck" seems completely ludicrous, and not even like it's a real word.
