Newest Subway ad seems questionable

The latest Subway ads playing on AM radio (1010, 640) kind of bugs me and I'm surprised they're allowed. Maybe I'm really mishearing, but in the ad it sounds like the actor is saying "frigging". Now I know this makes me incredibly uptight (and very much a first world problem), but shouldn't there be standards that prevents that kind of language from being used on air?

I’ll admit it made me ask myself if I had heard what I thought I heard.

Maybe they are trying to connect with their younger target group, who aren't as upset with the word as you?
