My head hurts.
What are the laws on this? If I purchase a retail space in, say, Manhattan, am I allowed to put up a giant sign that just says "gently caress"? Who would come prosecute me? Is it like an FCC thing? For some reason this question is really hard to Google.

How many angry non-customers you want in your store? I’d say it’s all about tact and your crowd. :shrug:

You can name your store whatever you want. Now, will you get the permits you need if the name contains a cuss? That's another story.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

I wouldn't, I would just murder everyone who came in the door. But that's not important, I just need to know if I'll get in any legal trouble for putting the word "gently caress" on my storefront.

What if I just named the store "Very Good and Law-Abiding Store" and just put "gently caress" up on the sign after I got the permits?
