As much credit as Carlin gets it was really WBAI that put that to the test and those same words are still not allowed on broadcast airwaves. Cable has absolutely no restrictions and online media is very loosely governed.

Not that your point isn't valid and that language evolves over time though but the FCC are sticklers for rules. Ham operators can lose their license for saying those words too.
