You can't say syphillis on TV?


Since when?

It probably just depends on the station. The FCC has their standards, then the station themselves have their own set of standards. They probably just don't wanna be responsible for a kid asking his parents what syphilis is.

They said it on Grey's Anatomy all the time. There was even a character nicknamed Syph Nurse because she gave George Alex's syphilis when she hooked up with both of them.
