South Park breaks US TV swearing record

South Park broke a record on American television when last night's 30-minute episode featured the word 'sh*t' 162 times.

The word was used 60 times in the first 10 minutes and was spoken by almost every single character on the show.

The show featured a counter in the bottom corner of the screen to check how many times the word was used.

The episode featured a fictional television network called HBC, which chose to use the word in a primetime show, thereby making it acceptable and causing global problems.
