The FCC says that, as long as you don't mean copulation when you say "fuck" or defecation when you say "shit", you can say `em on the air, because that doesn't make it obscene.

Damn, you beat me to it. My first thought was, "man, that's some fucked-up shit!"

Doesn't this seem amazingly backwards? I mean, fuck to mean copulation means copulation; if "fuck" to mean copulation is obscene, why isn't "copulation"?

Because "copulation" doesn't have that nice, percussive quality to it, like "shit", "fuck" and "cunt" do. Percussion + sexual or excretory meaning == BAD WORD.

I guess hobnobbing with all those politicians can pay off.
