Supreme Court Humor

The Supreme Court is hearing the case between the FCC and Fox Television about “fleeting utterances” of obscenity. This is the case of Nicole Ritchie saying at the Billboards awards

“it’s not so fucking simple" to remove "cow shit out of a Prada purse."

"takes into consideration that the particular remark was really hilarious?"

Now that’s what I call a brilliant legal argument…
