Whats with censorship these days?
 

i was watching MTV2 (nothing else on at 3 am) and this song by Seether or whatever comes on. And in one part of the song, hes supposed to say "And she told me she had a gun" but they censored out gun. WTF? Whats bad about that? And my sister said that in some Good Charlotte song "Lifestyles of Famous Amos or some sort" and they said "think we should rob them" and they censored out 'rob'. Whats going on?!?!?

HAHAHA!

just be happy you don't live in Taiwan

cry: they won't show boobies on TV cry:

Yeah, people censor words like gun, kill, stab, slit, slut, and other violent words. This doesn't bother me, since I do not listen to this kind of music anyway, but it won't help society in any way. People can pretty much guess what they are saying.

Thats too bad.

I dunno why they censor "bad" words in the first place. God forbid they'll ever hear those words in real life.

shit, piss, fuck, cock, cunt, motherfucker and tits

There, I defeated the purpose of censorship.

same in USA. Your lucky if they even show an animated ass

you're, meaning 'you are'... not 'your' meaning it's mine
i can't help it, i'm an English teacher - i guess you can't help it either, because you're an ass.
i just download all my pr0n needs, plus i pimp children

they censore the word "god" but they leave the word "damn" alone
wtf

They did that with Sublimes Satneria. When he says "Daddy's got a new .45." they block out .45.

here in canada you can say anything on tv. they dont censor much up here. the public channels can show the sopranoes & the osbornes uncensored. I like it that way. they actully treat people like people. not like children.

yep, they also censored out the word "Jesus" on a Law and Order episdoe. And it wasnt like a "Jesus Christ, look what happened!" but a "Please jesus, help us get through this" or something

Yeah, Good ol' Canada. You can show anything on the shows up here.
Drugs, guns, swearing, nudity, anything... Good ol' SHOWCASE.

It's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. oOo:

censorship does suck. Its all the 50 year old moms. If they dont watch the shows, who cares, they CAN stop their children from watching programs they object to. Its not like the good housekeeping channel has objective programming that needs to be censored, so watch that and stop complaining about shit that people like.!

yeah, not much censorship up here...hell on TMN they show free hardcore porn every wednesday and saturday night

hmmm this kanada you speak of? where is it?
i would like to go to it and watch television like a normal person

Stop watching MTV, it's shit anyways.

Problem Solved.

I think american tv shows too much. Leave that stuff for the pay channels. Leave them to channels that can be locked out by the parents. Some people dont want little jonny hearing shit, damn, fuck, whatever on the same channel that the flintstones come on. And for what? So some 13 year old can get his gangsta attitude on? No thanks. While i use and hear those words all the time, they dont add anything to the conversation. You can see anything you want on US tv, even the money shot, it just costs money.

Canuck TV pwnz.

A few nights ago, I flicked back and forth between "A Bridge Too Far", "Flashpoint" (- starring Jenna Jameson), and "Blade Runner". All uncut and uncensored.

Oh Canada...I stand on guard for thee. biggrin:

Censorship sux so bad. I think in Australia anything goes after 9 30 on free to air networks. I think some guy from SNL was getting interviewed on an Australian talk show and he was like "Can you cuss on TV over here?" and they said "yes" and he just goes "Wow...shit...that felt so good."

and all the dumb conservatives say liberals are all uptight and against "bad" words oOo:

then why does "hippy" Canada have such lax rules on TV

the US censoring is just getting worse and worse, especially with "proper" (but warmongering) Christians controlling the white house AND congress.

Oh yeah, The Osbournes are totally uncensored at 9:30PM on network TV.

Sweet.

LOL - tell us how you really feel.

Actually, censorship is getting less and less in the US. Its just that more and more people are pushing the limits of it and forcing the censors to exercise their power.

And I have never heard a conservative say a liberal is uptight and against bad words. Not even a dumb one. ed:

they sound like a lot of morse code in the US oOo:

the only bright point about American TV is the pay channels (HBO, Cinemax, the various Encore and Starz channels) sometimes one can find surprising things in the un-ccensored and un-edited-for-time (aka edited so we can cram more fucking commericals down your throat) movies that one never saw in theaters but only on regular TV

On Friends they don't second out piss, bitch, ass, penis.

you obviously never went to the warships1.com politics of war board,
they are constantly calling Hillary Clinton "the first bitch" "the first whore", anyone who disagrees with the Bush administration is called a traitor or a communist (or when they feel very colorful a pinko communist), anyone who speaks out against Bush is a liar, etc.
