I'd always assumed that my memories of the 80s as less vulgar were because I was in elementary school and wasn't allowed to go see R-rated movies or watch late-night television, and most of my attention was on school and playing anyway. It never occurred to me to count how many times someone said a naughty word on TV, because my friend Robert just got a Nintendo and I was too busy hanging out over there yelling at Selina and Danny that it was MY turn to play Duck Hunt.
