One of the most regular readers of this blog (maybe the most, as far as I know) passed this tidbit along:Just saw that South Pasadena just declared the weekend or something like that 'no cuss weekend' in hopes that people will clean up their speech. The move was started by a boy in school. Bottom up language prescription.Damn that, I say. Who knows, maybe the kid will grow up to become a sociolinguist or something. Ya just gotta freakin' hope.

Signs very similar to this are permanently posted on the beachfront strip in the resort town of Virginia Beach, VA to warn of the city anti-profanity ordinance. In fact, on first glance I thought this picture was from there, and it doesn't look temporarily mounted so perhaps it is.
