Free Speech, Only $500 a Word
This seems more than a little excessive, no? I mean, if you're going to a 50 Cent concert, it's your responsibility to know what you're getting into. I understand the need to stop unprovoked public obscenity, but isn't this just a step away from fining filmmakers for cursing in their movies?
Also, there's something off about a system where saying fuck would cost you more than it would to get fucked.
Not that I know what a prostitute costs in Florida, but my understanding from film and television is that it would be less than $500. And TV never lies.
