Toronto Star | Huffington Post
The Star's entertainment department asked editor
Fred Kuntz to alter the paper's obscenity policy so writers could use the full title of a new Canadian
film that's expected to be a hit at the Toronto International Film Festival. He refused. "I contend that in a majority of families, parents still actively discourage children from using the word f---," says Kuntz. "I have received well-reasoned complaints from parents when we have, against our own rule, veered into a freer use of obscenities or sexually charged language." || Related
