profanity on TV? fuck yeah!

Recently ABC aired Live 8, the concert to end poverty. Apparently someone said a bad word during a song. Oh no! Fuck or shit, some four letter word that kids never hear or say. And the parents never use it around them. Right? Well a parent's group with no time for real problems has whined and wants to ruin it for everyone. Don't you just hate the complainers who have so much time and energy, but choose to focus their ignorant minds on such inane issues?
Well this isn't the first time. We all remember Janet's big 'ol tittie and the uproar about that. Mostly cause about fifty million husbands immediately hoped on the net to see it and their fat old wives were jealous. That along with so many other issues over the last five years has helped remove certain civil liberties and pave the way for censorship. And it's not big brother type shit, but a few so called security moms that want to dictate what we see and hear. Our peer are deciding for us. And what gives them the right to censor me?
This even led to Saving Private Ryan being pulled from some stations for content that was found to be objectionable, even though the film had already been shown with no complaints. Ah, but the flood gates were open now.
And now we have this. Come on, give a rest already, people like to say fuck and they like to fuck. A lot. That's why we have these kids to protect. These kids whose parents don't want to do the jobs themselves.
Anyway I live in a country that in the past has been notorious for censorship. Watching Hannibal with a big blur over the open head with the brains spilling out was annoying. And those old videos with awkward cuts and missing sequences and crappy blurring were worse. But now it's not a problem. Movies channels of every kind. Nipples on basic cable. No censored words. And most importantly, Saving Private Ryan on during the middle of the day. Uncut. And no one complains.
When did America become the standard for censorship and repression?
