10th-Grader's Site nocussing.com Inspires No Cussing Week in L.A.

His campaign began three years ago. It started with grassroots support, followed by a wesbite, and the momentum lured thousands of enthusiastic supporters across the nation.

No, I'm not talking about Barack Obama, I'm talking about McKay Hatch, a 15-year old high school student who made it to the MSN hompage today, as the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors issued a proclomation that the first week of March will be "No Cussing Weak."

Hatch formed his first No Cussing Club in 7th grade, when he heard classmates uttering phrases he wasn't allowed to use at home.Eventually, the club created bright orange T-shirts, wrist bands, a  theme song, DVD and a website.

There's no fine for offenders, but Hatch hopes to see more people treat each other with civility in L.A.

Next year I want to try to get California to have a cuss-free week. And then, who knows, maybe worldwide It's not about forcing anyone to stop, just to bring awareness. If you can do a week without cussing, maybe you can do two weeks. And then maybe a month

Hatch's movement gained the attention Dawson Publishing, which published a book about his movement. He's also been interviewed by Good Morning America, CNN, Jay Leno, Dr. Phil, USA Today, The New York Times and other media across the nation.

Personally, I think L.A. and the state of California could solve their budget crisis if they just followed the lead of Marge Simpson and started swear jar, where every offender must contributes their loose change for every four-letter slip of the tongue. Heck, it's just as practical as an iTunes tax.

By the way, here's the grading scale for the club.

One curse-free week = Apprentice

One curse-free month = Journeyman

One curse-free year = Master

If you think you're up to the challenge, you can join the club online.
