I got no problem with people making fun of Tourette's. Its a funny disorder. I make fun of my tics all the time and I don't get offended if people make a good joke about it.
However you have to be somewhat original, especially if you are going to do the whole swearing thing. Just putting a different swear word ever other word isn't clever, its lazy. Its been done.
Now this is funny and original:

I find it funny because the joke isn't actually the swearing. The actual joke is the fact that his Tourette's startles the prey, since he can't control his outbursts. You could have any word in place of the swearing and it would still be funny. The swearing only serves as a link to Tourette's since that is what most people associate the disorder with.
