Tupac's latest has been butchered to bits 'cause people are afraid I'm going to call everyone a n..... you know what I mean. I want to say f... you to all those f...ing censorship people because the word n..... in Tupac's song is not offensive to anyone other than the racists themselves. Oh, and I am not shocked by middle fingers in the accompanying clip so I'd like to see them. And did they really blank out the word "pot"? I don't use it and hearing it doesn't make me use it so f... censorship I want to hear it you stupid p.....! Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :

I'm hoping, Rutger, that you'll conclude this trilogy of lyrical flames with one on MISHEARD lyrics - Jimi Hendrix singing "excuse me while I kiss this guy" and so forth. . . 8)

*is dubious about the quality of any song in which half the words end up being edited out for on-air play*
Or, as a kid at my first college used to sing... "I'm gonna sing a rap song for ya, but just so I don't offend anybody, I'm gonna leave out the cuss words..."
"...put my ____ in her ____ as we ____ and I ___..."

If you want to offend someone with your ideas, that's a good thing. If you want to offend someone just to offend someone, that's a bad thing. Though most of the music I buy contains no profanity, if someone wants to buy it they should be able to, I don't nessarily want to hear it on the radio. Why they cut words like "Joint" I don't understand. I know the reason, I just don't get it.

I knew every blanked out word you used RW. I like cencoring words like f*ck, sh*t, c*nt and so on. You see that form of censor is only protecting people who have never heard those words before, or complete idiots that can't figure it out. Do the astricks really hide a word? H*ll no! Such pauses in the word make us look at the word harder to determine what the word is. With the help of the content of the sentence the word is easier to figure out. Hence c*ns*rsh*p really emphasizes the word being censored by making us pause to determine the word. And I really like the @#!!&*% censor, because it makes reading interactive. It could say "Gosh darnit!", or "Jesus H. Christ!" You get to choose.

What's even funnier is when the *bleep* comes right after the word that is supposed to be censored.

It's just censors trying to keep themselves in a job. Nearly everyone knows what it is. Everything that has been mentioned above is discussed during school breaktimes from the age of 11,(it was for me and my mates anyway), so they all know this anyway.
Since we're talking about censorship, why are films that are aired after the 9.00pm watershed time still censored. What's the point? I've seen some Eddie Murphy films that start at 9.30 or 10.00 and they're still ruthlessly edited.
The censors have just realised that they may not have a job for much longer, and are trying to do something about it.

Harold, if you follow the canocity of Tommy Lee Jone's warden character in the movie "Natural Born Killers."
Although due to the influx of imigrants, legal or otherwise, into the state of North Carolina, anyone named Jesus H. Christ, is probably Jesus Hernandes Christ. And that's pronounced Hey Sues!
But "Jesus H. Christ" isn't as good as "Christing A!"
