Is Your PC Too PC?

So among the pull quotes regarding "Meet the Fockers" on Rotten Tomatoes is this gem from Frank Swietek: "Unbelievably raunchy...an avalanche of s******ing sexual humor masquerading as a family comedy."

Whoa. This movie's so raunchy it elicits obscene words I've never even heard. Check the original review, though, and it turns out the foul-mouthed and racially insensitive Dr. Swietek's offending word is...are the children out of the room?...sniggering.

Note to Rotten Tomatoes: set your naughty word filter's sensitivity dial back a couple of notches. Of course, if you're a teacher like Dr. Swietek, you risk ending up like this.
