Reply to comment by YourWiseOldFriend in TIL: George Carlin was arrested for 7 words. by PseudoPatriotsNotPog

When a record of the bit was broadcast on the radio, complaints were made, the FCC involved, and eventually those naughty words became the standard in the US. Arrested and made enough of a statement to be a little part of history.
