Censorship

[MrRandomGuy]

I say you're all just too god damn sensitive

it's censorship and it's downright blasphemous

let's end this shit now cause I won't stand for this

Censorship on TV and radio is starting to get rediculous. Earlier today I was watching the Hawthorne Heights video Ohio Is For Lovers, and they edited the word "cut"

 

"and i can't make it on my own

because my love is in ohio

so ... my wrists and black my eyes"

 

there's so many little words that they edit now, and it's really getting annoying

[Clogz]

I saw VH1 edit the word 'bullcrap', then turn around and not bleep 'bitch'.

I think its funny that we censor f-bombs, and condemn coarse language, while we allow all kinds of graphic violence and sex on TV.

Censorship is wack.

[Hyper]

they change the censorship rules every fucking week i swear. it's so damn stupid.

[MrRandomGuy]

they change the censorship rules every fucking week i swear. it's so damn stupid.

 

I know, a week ago it was on there, then today I was watching it and it bleeped cut.

 

i was like

[XrockinfreakX]

They censord "hit" in I hate everything about you by three days grace. They also bleep out "hash" in the song hash pipe by weezer, I could kinda understand that. TV these days can be so messed up.

[Clogz]

I predict that by the year 2012, television and radio will be one long censor-beep.

[stupidsoul1]

lmao

i agree with clogz though

 

i think its just hilarious when profanity is used and the "beep" is before or after the word they were trying to cut out was mentioned

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

yeah clogz, that'd be funny

 

"hey honey lets watch TV"

 

"bbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp"

 

 

but to get to the point... I was listen to the radio and some rap song was on that says "she workin that back" and they cut out "back"

 

i was all like WTF?

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

They are going over the top on cutting out the swearwords! It's not like we don't know what they're saying anyway! How obvious, like when they're cutting out the word "Fuck", obviously you can tell it was that word when you hear the FFFFFF bit o_0 And bitch isn't even a swear word =D I guess it makes the parents feel better eh.

[LPGotLinkinPark]

I hate censorship. Everyone knows what it says anyway. Bleeping out non-curse words it stupid though. grrrrr......People who came up with censorship piss me off.

[cmlp]

^ Same here. What really pisses me off, Good Charlotte somewhere in a song they say ass, but if a 50 Cent song, they fucking bleep the word! Another thing, why bleep when every little kid already hear main stream cuss words from their parents. My 2 year old cousin says muther Fucker all the time!!! It's all bull shit!

[FadedBlue]

What are they gonna censor in a few years, "and"?

 

I think its kinda ridiculous..

[cmlp]

^ totally agree.

 

One day we'll be lucky to hear the words to any song.

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

so far i haven't heard "damn" cut out yet. that'll be the next thing.

[MrRandomGuy]

it's funny

 

they're all about not offending people, yet I know that bitch and damn offends many people.

 

it's all somehow related to the morons who are pollitically correct

[Suicide King]

I wish TV in the US would be like British television. I'd be happy.

[Friðbjörn]

Censorship is crap if you ask me. People should hear the truth, but bleeping words is justified if you say the n-word, or if you bash somebody personally with some bad-ass words. Besides that, the truth should be played. We aren't going to solve any problems by hiding away from them.

Where I live, we don't have any censorship. Maybe it's because English is a foreign language and people don't understand, but also we have unwritten rules. Because young children often watch, TV people tend to not say the equivalents for shit, fuck, and such words. But more importantly there is no improper language here. People don't feel the need for improper language. There's one rapband, or it used to, who curses a bunch, but that wasn't censored, nobody cares. Plus it would cost money for so little work.

 

Censorship is wack like someone rightly pointed out, but we need some minimum censorship.

[MrRandomGuy]

^where do you live? I might move there when I get enough money.

 

no censorship, no foul language.

 

sounds like a semi-perfect world

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

I love it when there are a long line of swear words and its just like "beep and beep this beep that beeep beeep beeeppppppppp" actually that's quite annoying cos you can't hear what they are saying :S

[Z44]

in nickelodeon awards and stuff they always edit out the "damn"!!!

[acdcrules04]

censorship really pisses me off because its all about not offending people, but anything anyone says could offend anyone at any point in time, if people weren't so freaking uptight, then this wouldnt' even be an issue, okay and what i dont' get is that black people can say ******, but white people can't its just a word people and if it offends black people when white people say it, then i say either black people dont' say it at all or you let everyone say it, and anyways who thinks they can play 'god' and decide what is or isnt' morally right thats just fucked up. anyways i think that Bradbury was right with his book. the world will soon turn into a farenheight 451 reality

[MrRandomGuy]

^I didn't care for that book

 

but to stay on topic, that's a good point.

[acdcrules04]

yeah, it was confusing, i had to read it for adv lit, but it did send a very strong message

[Friðbjörn]

^where do you live? I might move there when I get enough money.

 

no censorship, no foul language.

If you were talking to me then I live in Iceland. No censorhip at all, but if you'd want to move anywhere where there's little censorship I recommend a country where English is the state language. It's pretty useless to move here, here there is no censorship, no, but that only counts for music videos, the rest is not in English, so......

yeah, that's true
