Son of a biiaaatch

Has there been a recent court ruling or something, that allows the use of the expression "son of a bitch" on TV all of a sudden?

Everyone from Jack Bauer to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin seems to blurt this out when they are upset (which is basically all the time), and it's starting to scare me.

Oh noes! Twisted Retard has been fired from GBGWrestling!

On a related note, this is funny shit!
