[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Nah, the UK's far worse than the US in some areas of censorship. The Simpsons used to be quite badly censored when it went out at 7 (never consistently though. And Sky and the BBC would often censor it differently. Hell, Sky would censor different episodes differently. Sometimes "ass" and "crap" would be cut out, sometimes not.). Strangely though, about a year ago, repeats were no longer cut. I think that Sky must have gotten a new load of master tapes, and deceided that we can now stand hearing the word "half-assed" at 7 o clock. It's [i]illegal[/i], but I think it still works the same as the US system. No-ones going to arrest you for allowing a 14 year old to watch the South Park movie (15-certificate). It does stop annoying little shits from getting into the cimema though. Sometimes. And it does force the parents into buying the tape for their kids themselves, so they can check it out better. Or the kid can borrow it from a mate. Ho hum. As a rule, the UK is more sensitive to violence than the US, and less sensitive about swearing, especially the lighter swear-words (despite the Simpsons example above, which is pretty much the exception, crap, damn and bitch are thrown around faily easily). I myself, when watching Dragon Ball Z with my 5 year old nephew, occassionally wince, thinking that this might be a bit much for him. He hasn't tried to kill anyone at his school with a Kamehamaha energy blast though, so I think he'll turn out okay. I did wonder what was going through his mind though, when we were watching the Powerpuff Girls Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever, and Blossom pretended to be Ms Bellum. What did he think she was doing with those stuffed toys? Tsk. In my day, cartoon women barely had parts. [/QB][/QUOTE]
