Instead of fighting actual obscenities, perhaps the FCC could start cracking down on lame humor based on stuff that rhymes with obscenities. They could start with this Toyota Tundra commercial. Yes, “truck” rhymes with a word you can’t say on free TV. But much of the dialogue here doesn’t even make sense. “Shut the truck up,” is a stretch, but contextually appropriate. “What the truck is your problem?” sounds like something my high school principal would have said.
