Oh dear lord, it's getting worse.

First we had the F-word

Then the N-word

Then the other F-word

Then a possible second N-word

Now, from CNN and Al Sharpton, we have the latest addition to this joyfully stupid list:

The B-word. That's right folks, you can't say "bitch" anymore. It's now "the b-word".

No, really:

The Rev. Al Sharpton, among the loudest critics calling for Imus' termination, indicated that entertainment is the next battleground. "We will not stop until we make it clear that no one should denigrate women," he said after Imus' firing. "We must deal with the fact that ho and the b-word are words that are wrong from anybody's lips.
I imagine that dog breeders are going to be rather put out that they can't ever say "bitch" again. So will quite a few other people dealing with the wonderful world of Canis lupus familiaris.

But hey, if it keeps Al and Jesse happy, and more importantly, quiet, well, it may not be in fact a bad thing.

Nah, it's still stupid. So stupid in fact, that I shall use song to illustrate how stupid expanding this list of words we fear too much to even speak truly is.

I give you, Kyle's Mom is a Stupid Bitch (in D-Minor), from the true genius of the folks over at Comedy Central and the South Park team:

Well, Kyle's Mom's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch,
she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world,
she's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch,
she's a bitch to all the boys and girls.

Monday she's a bitch, on Tuesday she's a bitch,
and Wednesday to Saturday she's a bitch,
then on Sunday just to be different she's a
super King Kamehameha be-atch.

Have you ever met my friend Kyle's Mom,
she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world,
she's a mean old bitch and she has stupid hair,
she's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch,

bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch cause-a she's a stupid bitch,
Kyle's Mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch,
Kyle's mom is a bitch-ah.

Can we please knock this shit off before the English language is reduced to nothing but a series of confusing Voldemort references?
