the same reason it's more acceptable for someone to watch a hollywood star shoot people in the face than it is to watch two people having sex: we're all ing retarded

No, the old farts who control/regulate the community standards laws or whatever its called are.

"I dream that in the future, TV's will all have a built in V-chip so people can themselves decide what is/isn't acceptable and networks (never the big 3) will be able to air WHATEVER they want."

In this day and age can you even believe that some BOOKS are banned from library's (mostly in southern US states). BOOKS!!!!!

"I also dream that one day I can publish something 'sooo dangerously provocative' that someones mom gets so mad that she goes on a crusade to ban my work from her county. (I will however be satisfied with simply being published....maybe a recipe in a cooking magazine)"

if they're gonna censor stuff I reckon they should replace the words with other words instead of beeping.

Like...

"banana" =
"muffin" = nigg*r

So banana you muffin!

in some high pitched chipmunk or donald duck voice or something.

They do that with boondocks too. Sometimes it seems as if they do it for comedic effect. I know I find it very funny when they use that standard beep.

It peeves me in online poker chat (you play with people worldwide)that the same words in English are censored and/or reported, but any other swear words in any other language still appears just fine.

nigg3r has become a common everyday word, only for black people though. :eyes:
