>> There is a line that shocked me, they put this line in the 
film. Marge states the breeding problem (referring to Harry) comes 
from the mother comparing it to dogs. I think it was something 
like "if there is something wrong with the b*#%h then there is 
something wrong with the pup" <<

I've been away on a business trip and am playing catch-up here -- dunno if 
someone else has addressed this topic or not, but I thought I'd "have a go" at 
it, heehee.

In dog breeding, that word is not a "bad" word, it's a technical term.  It's 
the official, proper way to speak of a female dog -- a female is the b***h and 
the male is the "dog," just as in horses the female is the mare, the male the 
stallion, and the farm where the stallion lives and breeding occurs is the 
"stud farm" (My mother never let me say "stud" when I was a kid -- but it is the 
proper use of the word).  So somebody who understood that term would be 
appropriate to Marge's life left the line in because that's the "correct" use of 
the word.  We bred horses for years, and the terminology used would make a 
non-horseman's hair curl.  When I became friends with a dog breeder, her repeated 
use of "b***c" bothered me at first, then I realized how much horse-breeding 
terminolgy I'm comfortable with and I got over my discomfort around dog 
breeding's technical terms.
