Ain't it the truth. E.g., twin beds for married couples in sitcoms through the 70s or so. I'm often marveling at how prudish mass media was until just recently, when advertisers wouldn't even use the word "period" in a commercial for pads. Heck, when we were kids, they could advertise cigarettes at us but couldn't say "hell."

The only thing better than truth is laugh-out-loud truth. Props!
