Video Censorship!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Luke:
I think the funniest censorship I ever saw was back a few years (when I used to watch television) when I was watching the video for Eminem's well-known "Without Me." I was watching it on BET, and the phrase "they shut me down on MTV" was censored.

I remember laughing quite uproariously at this.

kikanjuuneko:

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid ---How many songs were taken off the radio after September 11th for no fucking reason? I think they were taking fucking Abba tracks off there just because they had the word 'fire' or 'plane' in there. Hell I think Jefferson Airplane were allowed on most radio stations for about six months.
--- End quote ---

Let's not forget the entire Rage Against the Machine catalog.

Praeserpium Machinarum:
I have allways found the concept of self-censoring strange, since we don't really censor anything in Denmark. If the videos are censored, it's because they are american. There wasn't any censorship(to my knowledge anyway) after September the 11 either.There was a comedian called Omar Marzouk who made jokes about his cousin Osama who wanted to be a airplane mechanic, though that was some time later. But how about all those disgusting rap videos, 50 Cent and whatnot, they are not censored in Denmark, but are they in USA?

Somethingfake:
MTV? music....that does not compute I've seen more "pimp my ride" than music and the "music" they put on is arse anyway. I watch VH2 if I bother with TV at *all* nowadays, it wasn't exactly great in the 90's but damn man it had better smeg than the feth they pump out now.
How many goddamned "reailty" shows have they spewed out? 87!?
I'm sick of them. And censoring everything is dumb really as if people get offended I'd doubt they'd watch what offened them a second time.
If they where homophobics then they'd never watch gay bar after the first time, thus censor would be pointless.
It's like rating for films and DVD's. I'm not old enough to buy GTA:SA for the PC as I'm 16 and in the UK it's an 18 game. But I walked in with my dad he bought it and simply handed over to me.
Like Tim buckley says violent video games or films or music videos don't turn you into a killer, stop passing the buck.
sorry for the rant but these wank stains really hack me off you know?
Why not help protect the enviroment or something which more people give a damn about?
Anyway sod it, I'm gonna listen to Arcade fire and read the archive of QC.
Later people.

Storm Rider:
Not to mention Smokin' by Boston, one of the least offensive songs I've ever heard.
