I took this picture from backstage before the Whirled News show.
Every once in a while, like tonight, we'll get someone in the audience looking to hire us for some special show (maybe a corporate gig) and they come to see if we'll be a good fit. Which often means, keep the blue humor to a minimum. Not necessarily censor ourselves, but try to avoid being too dirty. They almost always say, "PG-13."
We did a pretty good job tonight. No drug use. All references to sex were pretty subtextual.
Afterward, in the green room we tallied up the few curse words that had slipped out during the show. Megan had said "ass." Alex had said "shit." And Young said "fuck" (although, I didn't notice that one).
To be fair, there aren't any official official guidelines, but usually you can get away with one "fuck" in a PG-13 movie.

In my defense, I was being waterboarded in the scene that I let that expletive fly.
And in all of our defenses, we were able to do a series of relatively family-friendly scenes inspired by an audience-selected article on waterboarding.
You can still retain PG-13 rating with two F-Bombs
You mean I could have used another one? Fuck.
Chin: [via the WNT message board] "There was some confusion on whether or not the client actually showed up... (they did, but under a different name). So I got a response this morning... They loved the show."
There's a WNT message board?
There is, but it's only for WNT members. It wouldn't be particularly interesting to anyone else.
