Granted that things are getting more relaxed, although it is slow going, but IMHO things are about 10 years behind in the censor board, in the real world can you honestly tell me that your kids or kids you know have not sat down to an 18 rated vid, not talking about porn either. I know mine have, I mean they have sat and watched with me, god my youngest used to laugh her head off at some stuff that 20 years ago I would have puked at..lol

I mean look how "childrens tv" has come on, death matches ( dragon ball z ) dan dare ( a fave of mine years back )

Anyway, my point is that the censors ARE way out of touch and could do with a bit of " kronas " where it hurts

Thank you for listening to the rants of bd

IMHO it also " enlightens " them into the big bad world that they are growing up in, by that I dont me that they have cart blanc over what they watch, even I have some morals, but to shield them to much could do just as much harm, IMHO again.

That said it is getting a bad world to grow up in, makes you wonder about these " futuristic " films, how much of that is to close for comfort ?

I find the warning this program contains strong langauge from the start suitable enough and i can then make me own mind up whether or not to watch..

What gets me is that they censor the f word but let other just as bad expletives go uncensored.

The joys of watching wwe on a Friday and Saturday night.

I absolutely agree. The censors are well out of touch. As a result we have far too much bad language, gratuitous violence and unnecessary sex. Give me a film or video with a decent storyline that's well acted,well filmed and well planned anytime.

If some of the films were of the calibre and style that we get from CSI on Channel 5 then more people would go to the cinema.

Did anyone see that documentary on Channel Four a few years ago on film and television censorship where they showed most of the clips and scenes that had been censored and unbroadcastable during the course of the programme?

They were slapped on the hands, face and given a right royal bol***king (i had to censor that myself... bad nthell ) for it.....

Good old Channel Four.... i really can't believe they didn't know what they were doing at the time

Nothing to do with politics, just " them " being complete a****s, maybe they should bring out an new channel that doesn't have censorship and see how popular it is, sort of get the public's reaction and go from there

I beg to differ, it's *everything* to do with politics, or rather, votes.

If The Powers That Be dare to even *think* about relaxing the censorship rules in this country the right wing media and politicos will immediately leap up and down and scream that they're contributing to the moral decline of our Great Nation etc etc etc.

They will follow this up by claiming that anyone who agrees with this or votes for anyone who agrees with it is, therefore a corrupt deviant who is going to turn this last bastion of moral purity into a den of sleazy iniquity where our poor innocent little children will be unable to go out or even watch TV without being faced with a barrage of corruption and filth...

(There will then be a brief pause as they wipe the froth from their mouths...)

Unfortunately that won't happen because our Thought Police will come down on them like a ton of bricks and sieze all their methods of production, computer equipment, paperwork etc "to check it's not breaking the law" and by the time it gets returned the company would have gone bust.

Let's hear it for democratic freedoms....!

Cheers,
Graham.

Makes me laugh watching the circus of WWE on sky - they bleep out what is obviously just the word 'arse' but you've got people in the audience holding up signs saying someone is full of c_r_a_p?!!
Is 'arse' more of a swear word in the states than it is here ?

surley if they got of there ass's and investigated they would be able to find away that you could press a button on ya control to enable/disable censorship, and perhaps stick a pin code on it.
