At least He Didn't Mention The War

The Queensland Cancer Fund and Queensland Health have:

...dubbed pop star Robbie Williams a "very bad boy" for smoking onstage during one of his sell-out Brisbane concerts... "It sends the wrong message to kids." (said a spokesman for Health Minister Stephen Robertson)
No mention of his repeated use of a four-letter word that is a euphemism for copulation. Presumably it's ok to swear like that in front of kids these days and the message they receive from it is just fine and dandy.

Admittedly, I frequently use the word use the word myself but only in selected adult company.

It's all about context, something passing court jesters like Williams - and The Queensland Cancer Fund and Queensland Health - don't understand.
