F*ck the FCC

Eric Idle (yes, that Eric Idle) has given us a cute little ditty expressing his feelings towards the FCC and its post-Janet-Jackson's-booby rulings against the further use of any of Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words." Eric uses one of these words repeatedly, making the MP3 somewhat likely to startle as well as amuse nearby listeners. Use headphones if you're in an environment where that might not go over well.
