The high court ruled that the Communications Act would not prevent satirical, iconoclastic, or rude comment, expression of the unpopular, unfashionable opinion about serious or trivial matters, humour, comments that are distasteful or even painful to those subjected to them, silly jokes or jokes in bad taste that a person would be likely to brush aside or empty bombastic or ridiculous banter.
As they knock on doors on the campaign trail, all four of them report being met with the same comment - expressions of "You look young!" follow them from house to house.

For the same reason, you shouldn't preface your comments with expressions like "frankly," "candidly," or "to be truthful" either.
The comments are expressions of individual opinions and emotions, prompted by a news article or blog entry, or written as a response to another user post, thus being part of an electronic 'conversation' between two or more users.
