As long as there's no sex, it's OK for TV.

I was just nurturing one of my pet peeves - the use of word "graphic" to mean something totally unrelated to graphics. Unless we get to put a disclaimer on our software "Warning: user interface is graphic. User's discretion is presently being contacted by our advisers".

Is there a nice euphemism for "euphemism"?
