"What the f***?! Oh sh**!" On Friday, Los Angeles was hit with a tornado for the first time since 2004, The Washington Post reports, an event captured on camera in a heavily bleeped home video.

Jennifer Aniston, delightful secret genius, is promoting Horrible Bosses 2 at the same time that Lisa Kudrow is making her comeback in The Comeback. Jimmy Kimmel spotted a chance to get the two Friends back together (again) and have them sling the foulest curse words they could think of.

George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words have nothing on Russia's mat, a profane vocabulary that's common throughout the country, and especially prevalent in male-dominated spaces like prisons and the army. Mat has a long history in poetry, parody, and political speech, and, on Monday, Vladimir Putin signed legislation to ban it.

America's sweetheart Julia Roberts apparently only knows a handful of bad words, and most of them are too tame to censor on network TV. Sally Field, meanwhile, knows all the curses, and will gleefully combine any one of them with the suffixes "-sucker" and "-licker."

Today's Staunton News Leader, a Gannett newspaper based in Virginia, came with a little surprise for the children. In a "Kid's Corner" sidebar buried in the weather section, the caption accompanying a Crayoned drawing included the word "fucking." As in: If you’re a fucking idiot, it can be fun to refer to your draft site as “the war room.” Wait, what?

Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live is more circus than talk show; tonight Real Housewife of New Jersey Jacqueline Laurita dropped a shit and an ass in one sentence. Between this and parent company NBC's inability to catch M.I.A.'s middle finger during the Super Bowl, standards and practices might need a bit of an overhaul.

Senator Orrin Hatch is a mild-mannered elderly Mormon who's spent his career voting for liberal judges and working on legislation with liberal Democrats, for whom he writes beautiful songs when they die. But now he has to win a Republican primary in Utah by securing support from the Tea Party folks, who all hate him. What's his plan? Developing a potty mouth, just like the Common Man.

Samuel L. Jackson is not only a bad ass motherfucker. As such, he's great at delivering that particular word on screen. Watch this supercut of him saying it over and over and revel in the genius of a true motherfucker.

Everybody loves movies with colorful language. But what happens when those films filter down to television, where their content is controlled by the FCC? Well, censors have to get really creative! Here's a collection of the most ridiculous "edited-for-TV" moments.

By nasty old New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino's standards, does saying "Fuck him," twice, on video, in reference to the U.S. Attorney General, even count as a "gaffe"? Nah, it's just Crazy Carl. Oy. Let's roll the clip.

This morning, Meredith Vieira interviewed a thirteen year-old girl who is a possible accomplice in a beating that resulted from a text message war. She mentioned some of the language used, including one word not appropriate for television.

On the Today Show this morning, Meredith Vieira played a video game designed to show the dangers of driving while distracted. Among those dangers: cursing on air. Video inside.

San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly's 2010 resolution is to say "fuck" at every city meeting.

This is a real-life, genuine letter from California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to the Sate Assembly, announcing his intention to veto a harmless bill that would've financed the Port of San Francisco. As you can see, it spells out "Fuck You."

Software designer Tom Hume made use of the Guardian's API doohickeys to find out how often it's printing dirty words. Who knew Brits were so skittish about "wank"? [Chart via his Flickr]

Ha, our Vice President said a bad word and it's on tape. "Gimme a fucking break," he said, after some Senator called him "Mr. Vice President," which is his hilarious title. Listen to the swears:

Most Americans are coarse oafs whose idea of fine dining is a grilled cheese sandwich with Grey Poupon on the side. So we all tend to like shouty British TV chef Gordon Ramsay, who screams cuss words at people on reality shows, which is behavior we all relate to. But other British chefs are not fans! Last week one Ramsay protege called him a "sad bastard" and said he hopes to never speak to him again. And today, famous chef Herbert Berger said celebrity cooks like Ramsay are "petulant," "spoilt divas," and act like "children." Berger, you donkey! You can't possibly hope to win this battle. Though I'm sure it's not fun to work for Gordon Ramsay, it is certainly fun to watch Gordon Ramsay exhibiting his forthright management skills when dealing with his inferiors in the kitchen, as he does in this helpfully uncensored clip from his show Kitchen Nightmares:

Click to viewIt's already been an exciting week for accidental on-air cursing, with New York broadcast institution Sue Simmons interrupting last night's Medium to ask what the FUCK New York is doing, but Sue and Bill O'Reilly just left us wanting more. So video guru Richard Blakeley (who's explored reportorial bloopers before) collected ten of our very favorite meltdowns by people whose job it is to not curse on TV. Some of these went out live, some were stolen from satellite feeds, but they're all golden. From Jim Ryan telling Dick Oliver that he'll explain how to be a reporter later to broadcast legend Bill Plante throwing a tantrum at the White House to vintage Sam Donaldson and Leslie Stahl, it's a cavalcade of rage and frustration. Like life. Click to watch!

Oh hey, Conan made fun of Jane Fonda's little cursing episode on yesterday's Today too! In his once-again professionally written monologue, O'Brien discussed the incident, then presented two little-seen clips of Ms. Fonda enjoying the word "cunt" in earlier performances.
