Who else was seriously offended with the use of the HATEFUL C-Word when the Anal Repulsive TV show host called his nail technician this..?
"I Want To Rock-N-Roll All Night And Party Everyday." -Simmons/Stanley
I agree it's a very offensive word in all circumstances. I didn't even realize that was what Julian was saying the first several times that I saw the film though. I just hadn't paid close enough attention I suppose.

Offended? Nah.
shareNever really bothered me in this movie. It was so fast and then it was over and I was onto the next scene drooling about Darcy.
shareIn the commentary the Director talks about the scene and laughs saying that in the UK it received loads of laughter...
Strange sense of humor over there...

THERE IS NO HUMOR IN THAT WORD.

So you're offended by film makers using a certain word no matter in what context they do so? That would make your approach anti-culture and anti-freedom.
To me, the use of the word in this context in this film is far from offensive. It just describes the person who utters it.
Murder is offensive. Do you write similar entries for each Miss Marple or Poirot film known to mankind?
Personally I disagree with people like you who are willing to use their being offended as an argument.
You make things worse when you choose to use a sentence like "have your brain checked" to someone who seemingly disagrees with you.
Your use of capitals doesn't help your case either.
PS I never use the word myself.
I have learned from friends that over seas this word is used daily in their British slanged-language!
In fact my friend told she gets calls in the middle of the night by these two gay Brits who say the word every minute. It's really too much don't you think?!?
Still not liking it-->

There is no humour inherent an any word (accept moist maybe) merely in its application.
How is a word that names a body part offensive to you?
Actually no - they say a different word in the UK version because we DON'T accept it over here
shareThey're English...c'mon.
shareFunny thing is, it's dubbed over in the English version so he says "cow". Is this a different between the American and English versions?
"If we go on like this, you're going to turn into an Alsatian again."
I'm in the US & he says *beep*
shareI thought it might be. He says "cow" on the English version according to the sound, but you can see that his mouth is not forming the same word.
"If we go on like this, you're going to turn into an Alsatian again."
On my DVD, which is the English version, on normal play he says 'cow', however if you turn on the commentary he says '****'
I hate the way you exaggerate. You always make things 50,000 times worse!

Spot on. I found this out last night when I was watching the commentary.

Not on my American version. The c word is said.
shareNow come on. No need to be rude to the English. I thank the English for this book and movie.
shareare you talking to me? If so, I merely meant that English people are not as bothered by the word as others, generally.
shareAh, my mistake.
shareyeah, here in the UK, *beep* while still being an offensive word, is nowhere near as offensive as it is in the States. I'm from Canada but have been living here for the last year and was surprised by the much more frequent use of the word over here--it's just not as big of a deal over here.
shareI guess it depends on the person. I mean that word never really bothered me. To me, you give words power if you let them. Meaning if someone is trying to be offensive, why allow them that power. No need to react to give them that power. The use of that in BJD, was so fast that I really never thought about it. My huband and I actually laughed. Does that make us bad people? Maybe, but I try not to get so worked up about it.

The same word was used in "Sex & The City", an American show, so the U.S. used it too!

The word is 'seriously offensive'- which is why it was used. In this context however, it is funny. If you found it offensive in this particular case then you missed the whole point of it being used...poor you
We British found it amusing anyway
I hate the way you exaggerate. You always make things 50,000 times worse!
sorry but i missed that bit. Where in the movie is it?
shareWhen Bridget is cooking the Birthday dinner, her mum rings to moan about Julian and then it cuts to him shouting at his manicurist or whoever she is

I'm not trying to cause arguments right-so don't jump down my throat-but i'm just wondering why people find the wword *beep* so offensive? All it means is fanny, so why is it offensive yet word slike fanny and t*at and so forth aren't? To me its just another word like *beep* Like i said i'm just curious so don't bite my head off.
shareBecause it's more vulgar than anything else, moreso when directed at a woman like he did. But I'm with you, in this instance it is very funny and meant to show what a well, *beep* Julian is!
However, when used in a different context 'c' isn't a nice word to use and shouldn't be used in seriousness. This however is not the case here, so I too don't see why people are getting their kinckers/'panties' in a twist about it
I hate the way you exaggerate. You always make things 50,000 times worse!
HATE THAT WORD.
VERY UNFUNNY USE OF IT IN THIS MOVIE TOO!

From an American to the offended Americans:
Get over yourselves. It's just a word.
Cheers.
A lie is a lie... unless your friends and family are in on it. Then it's a "commonly held belief."
It's funny how the Americans get offended over this. Over here it's totally not a big deal.
Mind you.... I find the way Americans say n***** and m*****u**** casually to be quite offensive.
What's wrong with '*beep*'?

I'm an American and I am not offended. I get tired of people speaking for all Americans when they say stupid s***. Don't speak for all of us when you are responding!
I also get tired of all people saying things like "You stupid Americans." Please do not generalize everyone in the US. It's not fair. Yes, our country is *beep* up and yes we have the most idiotic man running the country, but please don't generalize us.
I do find it funny how uncomfortable some people are with the word. It reminds me of an episode of "Sex and the City," when an artist was using it to describe his work to Charlotte.
Damn the man, save the Empire!
I was working for the very enemy I thought I was fighting.

Julian called someone a *beep* and it was funny. Get over it. It's only a word.
shareWhat word was it?
My techer said i could be anything i wanted to be - So i became drunk
"C" at the start, "un" in the middle, "t" at the end.
shareOh. Thats not that offensive.
My techer said i could be anything i wanted to be - So i became drunk
It's not a matter of offense, it's just a vulgar word. However, in the context of Julian using it, it's hilarious, and people are just not getting the point of its use in the film. Shame, really
I hate the way you exaggerate. You always make things 50,000 times worse!
Wish I had a nickel for everytime I hear (in movies) the word 'd*ck' or 'd*ckhead'. This is really worse? If so, maybe it shouldn't be considered worse.... Aren't we talking about similar areas of the human body? And - what gets me is the Yiddish word 'putz' - which means 'd*ck' being thrown around in conversation (usually by people who are somehow connected with New York culture) and 'cutened up' so that it almost sounds as 'cute' as 'tushy'. Who gives a rats ass? One New York politician (I beleive it was that jerk Schumer)made a holier-than-thou speech about another politician who used the word 'putz' - oh, cry me a river, jackass....
And don't even get me started on comedians who use the word 'ca-ca' for *beep* and it always gets a laugh....
