ongoing controversy. In popular culture The Catcher in the Rye published in novel form in 1951 by J. D. Salinger became controversial for its use of the word fuck. Gone with the Wind, a 1939 film based on the novel by Margaret Mitchell includes the line "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." This has been claimed to be the first use of profanity in a major American film, although films produced in America prior to 1935 occasionally used strong language and gestures. Seven Dirty Words is a 1972 comedy monologue by George Carlin in which he named the seven words that, he said, must never be used in a television broadcast. Kurt Vonnegut's use of the word motherfucker in his novel Slaughterhouse-Five became a subject of much controversy and led to his books being banned (and in some cases physically destroyed) by several public and school libraries. Comedian Lenny Bruce was arrested in 1961, 1962, and 1964 for obscenity and profanity in his comedic sets. American director Quentin Tarantino is infamous for the use of profanity in his films. British film director Ken Loach generated media debate with his 2002 film Sweet Sixteen, as the British Board of Film Classification gave it an 18 certificate for the very large amount of profanity, and not for any violent or sexual content. Loach argued that the language used was typical of the working classes in Greenock in Scotland and that the BBFC censors had a "London-centric view". Brandon Sanderson, in an annotation for his 2007 novel The Well of Ascension, mentions that some readers are put off by "light" cursing: Several vehicle models have been given names that have an inappropriate meaning in a language foreign to the vendor's home country, such as the Mitsubishi Pajero (rebranded as "Montero") and the Audi e-tron. Another example of a vehicle named after a term with a profane meaning is the Hellcat version of the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Durango; the word "hell" (first pronunciation of the version name) is reportedly forbidden in most US states when applying for a license plate.
