What are the F.C.C's Seven Forbidden Words, and where can I read more about them?

I went to the F.C.C's website (www.FCC.gov) and searched their site for them, but never recieved any answers remotely similar to what I was looking for. Any answers would be appreciated!

What are the F.C.C's Seven Forbidden Words, and where can I read more about them?
"The original seven words were, s h it , piss, f u c k, c u n t, **********, ************, and t i t s." (Spaces inserted to override Yahoo!'s asterisk plugger.) Read George Carlin's famous routine at http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects...
Reply:Then you should be aware that this is somewhat apocryphal. There is reportedly no such actual ruling., though the FCC does block obscenity somewhat. The seven forbidden words is, I gather, an invention of George Carlin. Report It

Reply:Go to the site below, search the page for "The original seven words were" and you will find the original listing.
Reply:Along with the other websites previously offered, George Carlin has his own, and with a bit of seraching you can get his original monolog. Also, he said it on Pacifica Radio, and they had a lot to say about the FCC coming down on them. Check their website also.


Now what's a nice girl like you doing, looking for all this dirty talk?
Reply:Do a search for Geoege Carlin %26amp; his 7 dirty words bit. He explains it well
Reply:The seven words are not listed anywhere -- because the phrase doesn't come from a list that the FCC has -- it comes from a comedy routine by George Carlin in the early 1970s.





I saw him perform in 1973. He did the routine at my college. The seven words that George Carlin claimed couldn't be said on TV are listed at the link below.





Note that this was the early 1970s. I've heard at least three of those words on broadcast television since then (s.h.i.t, t.i.t.s and piss).
