Ummon:
There's an art in language, one that seems to be fading, that guides one in the use and frequency of profanity and obscenity.

shmokes:
Is there an art in constructing sentences to be as pretentious as possible?

I thought that was what lawyers were for?

If language is an art and words the colors, why would tell an "artist" that it's wrong to use certain colors?   

I'm sorry, but I think there's a difference between unnecessary cursing, like dropping F-bombs as emphasis in otherwise civil conversation (ex. "I have to file my 10 f-ing 40 by April fif f-ing teenth") and using curse words in satire to accurately portray a personality, convey frustration, etc.  The Onion is not written by 12-year olds and the cursing is almost never gratuitous.

I think there's personal bias on your all's part that is preventing you from understanding me and my point. Which is okay.
