Censorship *serious*


Time for a serious discussion:


Next week, a song called Empty Souls is released (the more observant among you, may have realised that it is by the Manics, but that's irrelevant in this topic). It contains the line "Collapsing like the twin towers", but on the radio and TV has been changed to something about flowers. Is this over-zelaous editing? After all, the attack was over 3 years ago... or is it a good thing to protect the public from hearing certain words?

It's stupid. How come they don't censor things about the war in Iraq?


It's something that happened - you can't tipex it out of history and the media. Censorship should only come into play if it's something really awful - not just a real event that's mentioned in passing in a song.


What about freedom of expression?

I mean, I can understand them not playing certain songs during events (e.g. Merry Xmas War is over during Iraq...or Tsunami at this time), but for people to be over sensitive about something that happened 3 and a half years ago...

- Want a sausage?
- Naw, I don't eat pork.
- Are you Jewish?
- I ain't Jewish man, I just don't dig on swine.
- Why not?
- They're filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
- Sausages taste good. Pork chops taste good.
- A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie. I'll never know 'cause even if it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy mother****er. Pigs sleep and root in ****. That's a filthy animal. I don't wanna eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense to disregard its own feces.
- How about dogs? Dogs eat their own feces.
- I don't eat dog either.
- Yes, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
- I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But a dog's got personality. And personality goes a long way.
- So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he's cease to be a filthy animal?
- We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one mother****in' charmin' pig. It'd have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.

That's from a Quentin Tarantino film isn't it? I'm sure I've heard it before but I can't place it

'Censorship *serious*'


I hate to be all bossy, but amusing though that is, it's that's hardly serious. And it doesn't have a lot to do with censorship, either.
