Ok, let me get this straight...Gordon Ramsey, famously profane chef and reality show host, is in hot water in England after droppin the F-bomb "a record 132 times" on an episode of his two-hour show Ramsey's Great British Nightmare. Also notable in the episode was Ramsey smashing a $2000 flat-screen TV and two tables. Channel 4 has jumped to Ramsey's side in the controversy, issuing a statement saying “It was after the watershed. The swearing is a expression of Gordon’s passion.”

Ok. Fair enough. I'm the last person who is going to complain about profanity, when done for the right reasons. I have never watched an episode of anything Gordon Ramsey has ever hosted, and only know who he is through commercials, blog posts, and occasional appearances on The Soup about his various wacky cursing chef antics, but the people I see in the commercials look like they have all sorts of potential to be real damn stupid. I'd probably talk to them the same damn way, if they were goggling at my attempt to help them like a caveman would gaze upon a Zippo lighter.

What I gots to needs to has to find out is...that 132 F-bombs the British record or the World record? I mean, that's how News of the World reported it, a "record 132 times." That's it? That's possibly the world record? I think I can do that. I'm gonna have to do some checking on that...
