DURAN DURAN star SIMON LE BON provoked an apology from a TV presenter on Friday (17Dec10) when he let slip a four-letter word during a live show. The Rio hitmaker was being interviewed on panel show Loose Women and was recounting his early days in the music business with a punk band called Dog Days when he revealed they were once branded "dog s**t" by a venue promoter. And although the singer tried to mutter the obscenity under his breath, panicked presenter Kate Thornton told viewers, "It's a naughty word and we are sorry for Simon's potty-mouth." But Le Bon was adamant he had not audibly cursed, adding: "I didn't say it! I didn't say it! I just said 'Dog shh...'" www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/le-bon-turns-the-air-blue-on-uk-tv_1190409

*Sigh*
He didn't really say it and to be fair there are plenty of worse words he could have said. I don't swear but the word "s**t" isn't really a swear word by today's standards, in my opinion.

People just like to focus on the negative. It was a great show with the band but they failed to mention that. You know what I think about it? Dog shit!

To really turn the air blue in the UK, Duran Duran should do another GOF type video (Girl Panic??) and let UK's porn channel TelevisionX play it if other tubes want to ban it.

A British network airing a program called "Loose Women" had an issue with the word "shit"? Not to mention the context. I thought the Brits were far less concerned with these things than us Yanks. Weird.
