Man, this censorship since Mrs Nipplesworth showed her nipple during
the Super Bowl has gone far enough. Today I heard one of my favorite
Petty songs, “You Don’t Know How it Feels” and you know the part where he says “let’s roll, another joint”?
Well, they have replaces the word joint with the word drag. Yeah, like
that makes SOOOOOOO much sense. “Yo, Silent Bob, fire up that drag so
we can get movin.” What the fuck? I mean, honestly, what the
motherfucking fuck? They never censored it before. This shit has gone
too far. First of all, if a kid is even old enough to know what it
means, this won’t fool him. Secondly, if he doesn’t know what it means,
he will ask “Mom, what the hell does that mean? It doesn’t make sense”
and she will say either “Beats the shit outta me Jimmy. Now do your
fucking homework and walk the dog” or “well Jimmy, its means this man
likes to toke to relax, but drugs are wrong Jimmy. Now get me another
beer.” And as I mentioned a few months ago, they are also censoring the
Black Eyed Peas “Don’t Funk With My Heart”
to say “Don’t Mess With My Heart” even though, funk is the censored
version of fuck. And its all because the stations are afraid of getting
fined because of the nipple. How can this all be? Its flat out
censorship at its finest. Plus, how often can you even understand what
a singer is saying? When I was a kid, I thought they were saying all
sorts of fucked up things, like in Toto’s “Africa” I always thought they said “there’s nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do”
(actually, its a 100 men or more……..my friend Keith thought they
said Mars too, so I know I wasn’t alone” and in Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer” my little overactive mind thought they said “Bruce Samba“.
Yeah, I know pathetic. But, it proves a point that a lot of singers
mumble and are not clear. So basically, they are censoring on the off
chance that a child MIGHT understand what they are saying. And, they
are censoring because they think kids might get the wrong idea. Well, I
happen to think this is the perfect chance to talk to kids about these
sort of things. So I say let Sublime sing about how when Annie turns 14
she is going to be a whore, because, chances are little Annie will grow
up to be a whore anyway (later in life it appears Annie gets murdered,
or so Michael Jackson would lead you to believe). And just what exactly
are we “protecting” these kids from anyway? Most kids know and even use
many of these words already anyway. Now don’t get me wrong, there are
far more things we have to solve before the issue of crazy censorship
(the global warming just might make this all moot anyway) but can’t we
just stop it from getting any worse? So Janet Jackson showed us her
nipple for an 1/8 of a second, correct me if I wrong, but doesn’t every
person on the planet have 2 nipples? Maybe my opinion is different
about this because I’m not a parent, but I doubt it. Shit, from the
time I was 3 or 4 I have been curious about my nipples and still wonder
what fucking useful, non sexual purpose they serve for males, I don’t
think seeing more of them is going to make any child become some sort
of nipple maniac. If anything, its going to make them even more
curious. Anywho, I’m really getting away from the original
subj……….way a minute, what was the original subject? Oh, yeah,
can you even believe the Cowboys sign Terrell Owens? That’s a soap opera
waiting to happen.

Like the little fuckers can’t just look up the lyrics online and see what they are REALLY saying. Censorship pisses me off too!
The thing is….some of these words I never knew were bad until they censored them. Take, for example, the Alanis Morisette song ‘You Outta Know’…when I was 12 years old, listening to the song, I had no idea what it meant when she said ‘would she go down on you in a theater’. I had no idea that phrase was risque until I heard it on the radio and noticed they bleeped it out. So, being the curious little 12 year old I am, I went home, got out my CD, consulted the lyrics, and saw the phrase ‘go down.’ That’s what got me curious, and then I started asking my friends what it meant, and that’s how I learned about it. If they had just let it play on the goddamned radio, I never would have been the wiser. Of course, until I turned 16 and became a whore, but still. And it’s gotten worse, I agree. How about the Black Eyed Peas song ‘Let’s Get Retarded.’ We’re not allowed to say that anymore apparentely, so they changed it to “let’s get it started.’
Fuck you, Janet Jackson. And fuck you, FCC.
it’s outta control!!!
ryc: alright, alright…. no shop talk

That’s my Favorite Heckels post ever!!
well Jimmy, its means this man likes to toke to relax, but drugs are wrong Jimmy. Now get me another beer.”
That’s Pure Genious, that is.
Speaking of everyone’s nipples, have you seen Pam Greers orig rack? I saw her topless in some old film the other day. I see why they call ‘em headlights. One was going one way, and the other was off on it’s own. If Pam Greer was a car on a two lane highway at night you’d have been able to see up in the tree’s.
HA HA!! ( miss ya, BTW )
