I dont need to turn it off now , it isnt there. It shouldnt be there . If you wish to hear filthy language on your TV rent a movie. The government IS in TV and will stay there. Most movies are censored now, in some like Smokey and the bandit, the censorship does ruin the movie.
One of the prices that have to be paid.

The US doesnt need foul obscene language proliferating its airwaves. The government has always censored radio and radio traffic among users of commercial radio's. I doubt it will stop.

It ruined it in "My Cousin Vinney" too.

One of the funniest movies ever but the version released for tv was a dud.

In some movies the original cast records a "tamer" version and unless you knew the script from the theater version you wouldn't really notice. Then there was Die Hard 2 where John McClane's (Bruce Willis) line was changed from "Yippee-kye-yay, M*#*@*# F(#*#*#!" to "Yippee-kye-yay, Mr. Falcon!". First, the line made no sense. Second, the person who said "Mr. Falcon" didn't sound anything like Bruce Willis. It would have been far less jarring to just remove the line altogether.

Your right on both counts. I just wish the government would stay out and the networks would clean up its own mess.

Or that foul unhealthy food proliferating at restaurants. McDonald's needs to be removed from the public sphere. If you want a cheeseburger, make it at home.

I'll pay these arguments some heed the second someone can logically explain to me why excrement is an ok word but sh-- is not. They mean exacly the same thing, so how does one set of syllables become profane while anohter just refers to the product of the bowels.
