"Ode to a Four Letter Word" by Kathryn Shulz - NYMag.com

Writer waxes philosophical on America's love-hate relationship with the word fuck. Pretty insightful. Also, inspired by the new book "Go the Fuck to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach, a nighttime reading book for parents which includes poems like this:

The flowers doze low in the meadows
And high on the mountains so steep.
My life is a failure, I’m a shitty-ass parent.
Stop fucking with me, please, and sleep.

So, there's that.
