coarseness update

[Jonathan Lighter]

In one day alone:

A Volt owner says in a TV commercial that a Volt can "save you a crapload
of money."

And middle-aged businessguy Peter Kiernan is interviewed on CNN about his
hot-selling _Becoming China's Bitch_.

Quasi-obscene? Sexist? Sinophobic? Homophobic? (why not "China's Punk"?)
You judge.
