The other problem with Anal Cunt's use of such words is that I think, far from attempting to 'normalise' them, they rely on a certain impact that these words still have (within certain communities). It's their constant need to shock that I find so boring, especially considering that the people they're mostly addressing are hardly likely to be anything other than mildly entertained by such words (as I presume is the overwhelming response here). It's a very 'safe' form of provocation at the end of the day, and as such entirely pointless.
