| You Can Kill the Hooker, Just Don't Have Sex quote:
The company says they do still reserve the right to censor the video feed in the case of "excessive sexual content -- nudity or simulated sex acts."
This just made me laugh. There's a maturity expectation for certain band's content (ie. lots of cussing), but God forbid you show a boob. FFS...censor the artist down to PG-13 ratings (ie. wholesome for the whole family), or just don't screw with the feed at all.
I mean, if "Blue Room" is supposed to be "in the concert" as much as they hype...when's the last time you went to a heavy metal concert and expected to have the artists Disney-fy the content for you? |

| I say we quietly adopt legislation requiring nudist-beaches every 10 miles, and maybe we can finally drop the boob-shot-is-bad thing and grow up like the rest of Europe does.
For the land of the free, we sure are sexually inhibited. Which is wierd, because the last time I looked, Eurpoe has religion too, but they don't scream bloody murder about that stuff like we get over here.

Which is wierd, because the last time I looked, Eurpoe has religion too, but they don't scream bloody murder about that stuff like we get over here. It's only a handful of very vocal fundies who scream about any given thing that does not fit into what they believe the rest of us should see or hear. For example, each time the FCC gets a complaint about television content, they make it out like hundreds of thousands complained about the infamous Janet boob exposure, whereas, the ::REALITY:: was something like 20 people -all of the fundie persuasion- actually complained.
If people didn't want to see tits & ass and lots of it on the tube, then we wouldn't be drowning in ridiculous "reality" TV or equally ridiculous comedy sitcoms. Television would be fundie TV 365x24x7. Even Fox would drop questionable shows that don't tow the fundie line, but the ::REALITY:: is that most Americans like their T&A just fine.

| From the tone of your post, I gather you're not a parent. And also share a great amount of hostility towards people of religious persuasion who want at least a modicum of decency on primetime TV. "something like 20 people" - I bet I know where you pulled that figure (and it's not worth repeating here...) Kudos on showing your true colors. |
