The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.

quote:

In 1973, a father complained to the FCC that his son had heard the George Carlin routine "Filthy Words" broadcast one afternoon over WBAI, a Pacifica Foundation FM radio station in New York City. Pacifica received censure from the FCC, in the form of a letter of reprimand, for allegedly violating FCC regulations which prohibited broadcasting indecent material.

After listening to the entire broadcast with his son, he filed a complaint that ensured the First Amendment is restricted when you are broadcasting.
