How to get away with swearing on national US television

Jean Dujardin has won the Oscar for best actor, the first ever French actor to win the prestigious award.
I remember when I first saw him in the mid nineties, in one of the first talent search shows in France, Graine de Star. Then in the late 90's-early 2000 in Un Gars, Une Fille (A Guy, A Girl). At the time, I had just met the BabelDad. We, as well as many 20something and 30something, followed the on-screen and off-screen romance of Jean (Chouchou) and his co-star Alexandra Lamy (Loulou), who eventually got married in real life.


That night of the Academy Awards, Jean Dujardin struck gold. Twice. First the statue. Second the p**ain word.
His joy summarised in the last "Wow, P**ain, Génial, Merci, Formidable" is a pleasure to hear; in spite of swearing; or because of it.
