What would you do if you were to walk around your city “Bad Word” free? Cussing is what we introduced to ourselves and in time spread around the world.

On my way to my wife’s place, I was listening to KIIS FM and the famous Ryan Seacrest was talking about McKay and how he wants to make South Pasadena, California a cuss-free community. The news hit me with amazement, so I decided to do some research on this matter.

south-pasadena-high.PNGMcKay Hatch is currently a freshman student at South Pasadena High School in California. If you live around the area, you probably know that this school is pretty much filled with rich kids that don’t really give a damn about what is happening. McKay was bothered with the constant “Bad Words” around him, so he decided to open his own club, No Cussing Club. The club consists of some of his fellow peers including himself as the president, but because of recent issues taken to court, the numbers jumped to thousands all over 32 states and 11 countries. It seems pretty simple to join the “NCC” because the only main requirement is to follow their motto, “Ya Wanna Hang with Us? Don’t Cuss!”

The South Pasadena Council seems to be interested in McKay’s idea for a “cuss-free” city. It just seems like this kid wants to do so much, but at such a young age, he’s receiving huge criticisms including threat calls because of what he is doing. I certainly think this is a bad idea for little McKay because limiting speech is contrary to the freedom of speech.

Knowing that McKay is such a little activist, his parents are the ones that made him who he is. It seems like in 2006, his parents, Brent and Phelicia Hatch, wrote a boncc-hugging-card.pngok called “Raising a G-Rated Family in an X-Rated World.” There’s a whole E-Store on the No Cussing Club website that sells their books including a “Positive Hugging Card?” What the heck is a Hugging Card anyways? It’s a card that uses your thumb print to figure out how many hugs you need. It is mentioned that this card have been sold over 3million times, which if you convert it to 5card packs and $10 per pack, is $6 million dollars. I don’t think that anyone would actually buy this piece of junk, but I might be wrong. Now because of the huge publicity that McKay got himself, he decided that he could come out with his own 5-song album, which also costs $10. With that said, I want to show you the the “No Cussing Club” music video.

*Update* - It seems like the “No Cussing Club” music video is not allowed to be embedded in any site, so I can only provide the link to the YouTube video. Click Here.

It’s just hilarious seeing how the Hatch family is trying so hard to gain a “Bad Word” free society. I give them thumbs up for trying to get more fans into their group, but I pretty much think this won’t work. This could also be a huge money-making plot/scam in disguise judging by all the facts that are given, but then again it is only my own opinion.

As much as I try to give the benefit of the doubt, I have to agree with your last sentence.

(As a ironic aside: When the Youtube video ended up came a couple of additional video choices - both ‘Jackass’ vids…)

And here I thought we had hit the peak on the political correctness mountain. Guess there are still a myriad of ways left to feminize the country!
