Word is spreading fast that the television show "Park Drama" will be dropping the futomic bomb on television. Outraged parents with way too much time on their hands and superstitious nutcases are bringing this to your attention in the hopes of putting a stop to all of this.

[option]"What? They're going to say ****?" Says @@RANDOMNAME@@, an outraged mother. "Dude you can't say **** on television. What if my kids wake up at 2 in the morning and see it? It'll warp their fragile little minds. This has to be stopped or it'll take us weeks to erase the damage."
[effect]TV directors are frequently thrown in jail for the slightest infraction on "filthy language" laws.
[stats]civil rights down(some), apathy down(some), Law and order up(some), Information Technology down(some), size of government up(a little), taxes up(a little)

[option]"I don't see what all the fuss is about." Says Gladstone, one of the makers of Park Drama. "It's just one dumb word, who the **** cares? It's not like this is going to make people vomit up their intestines or anything. I think the government should stay out of this. If the crazed parents really hate it that much, they can turn the TV off."
[effect]Contreversial new kids programs that involve curse words are popping up all over @@NAME@@'s TV networks.
[stats]civil rights up(some), apathy up(some), size of government down(a little), happiness down(some), taxes down(a little), youth related crime up(some)

[option]"If it really is just one dumb word then surely it shouldn't be any trouble to edit it, no?" Says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a high strung and easily bothered citizen. "But I don't think jailing them is neccessary. What if you just had the networks cancel their shows and ask them to leave when they violate this law? They'll be walked out by security in front of everybody and it'll be super embarrasing."
[effect]The government arbitrarily forces networks to cancel shows it doesn't like.
[stats]economic rights down(a lot), size of government up(a lot), happiness down(a lot), Information technology down(some), taxes up(a lot)

/*Not sure if this should effect the economy or not, thoughts?*/

[option]"I agree with what the angry mother said." Says @@RANDOMNAME@@, head of the Federal Buttintopeople'sbuisness Bureau(FBB). "But we should go further, it should never be OK to curse. If you ask me, cursing is just a way for people to make life miserable for us conformists."
[effect]Citizens are forced to "conform" to strict behavior standards, even in the privacy of their own homes.
[stats]civil rights down(a whole lot), happiness down(a whole lot), apathy down(a whole lot), size of government up(massive), crime up(some), Law and order up(a whole lot), taxes up(a lot)

/*Crime went up because it is now much easier to break the law, even if citizens are trying hard not to do so. I wasn't sure if this should effect the TV industry(Or IT since there isn't a TV industry coded into the game) since everyone else is forced to adhere to the same standards now*/

}I assume this is because you're wanting to flag this as adult?

Yeah, even though it doesn't contain the actual word I'm pretty sure that teachers in class regions wouldn't like seeing this on their student's screens.

When you submit it, you can probably just change that to "adult" or something to that effect. Nations in class regions are automatically exempt from adult issues.
