So on TV, well Comedy Central anyways, you can say "ass hole" if you are insulting someone with it, but you can't say it as a word for, well, the ass hole. My head is gonna explode one day.

Also, what's with video game servers for Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat not allowing cussing? I mean, for DoD, you're a friggin' Nazi and you are supposed to kill Americans, yet for some reason saying ass is a big no-no? I need to be Supreme Galactic Ruler so I can put an end to that nonsense.

Had a look at the game Veitcong, My Sarge was talking about wasting Gooks and when we moved out, someone yelled out, "rock and motherfuking roll", Wouldent have thought it was PC to call Veitnamese "Gooks" anymore

There are servers with such stupid censorship, but I have yet to run into a complete day of censor-enabled server. It's not possible.

Ever notice also how hosts of TV shows don't swear but the guests can? Open Mike iwth Mike Bullard has that, MuchMusic has that.
Heck, on MuchMusic, they simply need to decide. They either want swearing or not. Sometimes they censor things, sometimes not.

I love watching movies on TV just to see the censoring.

Bruce Willis in die hard 3 says motherfvcker a lot, and sometimes they censor it out to say Mother Father. haha

And that part where he had to go to Harlem and wear that sign that said "I hate n1ggers" was changed so the sign said "I hate everybody"

haha

I see lots of old 90s films that have modified scenes, but I have to wonder, was censorship an issue back then, and if so, did they do it on purpose to shoot a "TV-formatted" version?

Seems to be the case.

I would think so... it'd be hard to change that sign like that.

The biggest problem I have is "Gooks" are Korean not Vietnamese. "Tai Kwon min gook" = Korean citizen.

The Pen is mightier than the Sword, but the Sword is better if you need back up.

Anybody noticed that's become the new standard of boasting for small towns?

"Hey, we've got a Super Wal-Mart now! We're in the big time!"

11 days and counting.....

Yeah. I've tried to forget all the bragging I've heard folks do when their town gets one, but alas, I have failed.
