Best Answer

The seven dirty words first aired over the radio by comedian George Carlin in 1972 caused the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to formally establish what they call "indecency regulation" in American broadcasting.

A complaint was filled with the FCC after a father and son heard Carlin's "Filthy Words" monologue on their car radio. Following the complaint, the FCC asked Pacifica radio station for a response, then issued a declaratory order upholding the complaint. Eventually, the FCC appealed to the Supreme Court which ruled in its favor, declaring certain English words unacceptable.
