Reminiscent of this scene from the 1981 teen-slasher parody, Student Bodies:
> Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "Fuck you."
> [the MPAA R-rating logo appears on the screen]
Took a bit of poking, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgDQ5z7bNPs
That sound quality did something weird to my brain, I was convinced sound was accidentally coming out my laptop speakers not my headphones. I'm not even on my laptop, and I still took my headphones off to check.
Almost assuredly a video capture of a screen.
This one is a ripped recording:

And one of the rare incidences of the MPAA ratings banner appearing in the middle of a film.
Joke's on you, as standards loosen now PG-13 movies get up to eleven "fuck"s to distribute throughout the film (nineteen for documentaries)
PG-13 didn't exist in 1981. It went straight from PG to R. So less loosening of restrictions, and more adding gradation.
And in 1981 PG movies had tits.
Airplane (1980) was PG.
Today's 13 year olds say that word more times than that before breakfast.
Which is, of course, a bad thing that ought not to be encouraged and that ubiquity does, in fact, encourage and normalize.
Yea. Nobody needs to be talking that much before breakfast.
So fucking what? Nothing wrong with that. Lighten up, francis.
If the word fuck isn't offensive, there's absolutely no reason to use it.
Yet every culture across the globe has and has always had swearing, profanity, taboo words, fart jokes, and gate keepers decrying such things.
While the reasons may elude, the ubiquity speaks to something foundational.
>Which is, of course, a bad thing that ought not to be encouraged
I'm not actually willing to take that as read. It's just the word "fuck". You may personally find it distasteful and you're welcome to discourage your children from using it but it seems like you're committing Pargin's Blunder here (mistaking norms specific to your social group for universal truths).
Fear of a Black Hat, a rap mockumentary in the same vein as This is Spinal Tap, begins with a warning about the language in the movie that's essentially them repeating the offending words three or four times.
