Censorship in american TV, WTF?!

[jaffa]

Move to the UK, we dont have much censorship here. Especially not on something like Hell's Kitchen. Land of the free.

Someone i know was telling me the other day that they were watching a film, i think on the Sci Fi Channel (this is in the US by the way). And all profanities were dubbed. So even mild things like arse became something like eyes. That's weak.

[Willeh]

I have to agree with the OP...it's becoming hard to draw the line I guess at what to censor. I mean, censoring women in bikini's? That's going a bit too far, since you can arguably just go to the beach and see the very same thing in vast quantities. Same with beeps, they're just beeping words everybody in the whole world has heard at least 10.000 times.

Also I don't really see the point of censoring Hell's Kitchen, that show was basically made obscene deliberately. If not, they would have had a smiley faced Jamie Oliver presenting it, surely.

From all tv shows I ever watched, the ones from the US are the most cencored!

Ahhhhhhhh... So it's really just a "sample size" issue.

MMIG - what a twist! You've blown my mind.

Buddy - you turned this into a broader issue of "rights to freedom" in your OP - you're right from a television perspective, Europe is way more "progressive" with respect to what it's airing and what it "blurs" or whatever.

However, the fact that you're using Network TV standards and practices as a gauge for rights to freedom in the US is incredibly retarded. And as mentioned several times... TV "censorship" in the US has only gotten better over the years.

Atleast as a non american I do watch non US material. I am not as close minded as you are and saying "our country is the best f*ck the rest".

[rwanger]

Are you suggesting that network TV should be allowing any/all profanities?

Although I personally think that they way they're censoring the f bomb these days is pretty lame, since we all know exactly what they meant.

Kinda like when they only censor out the nipple.

Did I hurt your little american feelings or something? What a shame if I did... Why don't you just go start another war.

MMIG - yes, yes you did.

OK - tell me where you live - wiping out whatever country educated a moran like you strikes me as a good idea.

hahaha, agreed, that's a proper pet hate of mine.

Also: even as a non american who doesn't think much of your country like the rest of the world, i must say that the OP has suddenly turned into a bit of a douche.
