A fucking hilarious legal document
This must be one of the funniest legal documents ever, filed to motion the court to dismiss charges against a Colorado teenager who had cursed at the school principal using the words "fuck", "fucker" and "fucking fag" to quote the legal brief's headline.
Defender David S. Kaplan went to a lot of trouble arguing that the word "fuck" isn't that offensive after all, and goes into the history of the word (no, it never meant "fornication under consent of the king," as the urban legend has it), its usage in popular movies like Pulp Fiction, and points out that Google finds "fuck" about 24.9m times on the net, against e.g. a meager 13.6m hits for "baseball."
It's like Monty Python meets the law.
Perhaps sadly, the document never had any real significance, as the lawyer cut a plea deal that had the case dismissed if the kid stays out of trouble for four months.
