Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
We watched an old South Bank South we came across last night. They had Billy Connelly on and it was unwatchable due to editing of his cursing, which is extremely frequent. But all the same we missed half the gags due to it.
Also caught a bit of Braveheart not so long ago and the editing was particularly awful, they had dubbed out Scottish men swearing and replaced it with American accents filling in the gaps!
The watershed in the UK was a good thing, though not when I was younger and I would get "right time you were in your bed"!!!

Our cable bleeps out plenty...even saw them put the blurry baloon over a plumbers butt crack one day on a show.
I feel protected, I feel safe. I thank the Kristian Kooks for making sure I dont have to endure shuch words as shit, fuck, and cunt.
I feel so safe, I wish they would all go to Saudi Arabia and help save the people there.

Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
I have often been annoyed with the constant bleeping, too -- or when they dub over the profanities, changing "Give me the f***ing gun!" to "Give me the flipping gun!"
I mean, really. AS IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE REALLY SAYING.
Even worse is when the dubbing was done a long time ago over words that are no longer considered as rude as they once were. Ever try watching "The Breakfast Club" on TV? They dub words like "damn" to "dang," "bitch" to "witch," "hell" to "heck" and that kind of thing. Totally ruins an otherwise excellent film.
Still, like someone said, there's always Netflix...

Cable is just as bad as public TV re censorship. And I resent paying for Netflix when I already pay through the nose for 100 channels of crap. If they'd let me pay for just 4 or 5 good channels I'd be happy. Instead you have to pay for the 100 crap and then more $$ if you want a few decent channels.

Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
For films you can rent the DVD for the uncensored version but you can't for television programmes.. Someone mentioned Billy Connolly and all the 'silence' - the same is true on BBC America when showing e.g. recently Eddie Izzard or No Angels. Even after midnight all the language is muted out, which makes it frustrating to watch EVEN THOUGH we all know what they're saying. I would have thought with all the parental control things you have on digital cable and satellite boxes then they should just broadcast things uncensored and let the viewer decide.

Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
I think I may have even ranted about this in the past. The other night at tea time it was an ad for male enhancement, lots of hard wood flooring in the background so it took me a while before I realised it was for making ones nob bigger rather than advertising DIY. Our 8 year old was eating her tea. It is baffling.

Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
My answer "It's when you talk about sex"
Another one... the same child but then only 7or 8 year old "What's a lesbian?"
Answer...."Someone in Greek mythology who lived on the Isle of Lesbos"
She is off to college soon and we can talk about anything and we laugh about those answers now but at the time I just felt she was too young to have the truth.
All my children are girls and when they reached the age of wanting to read Cosmo Girl I decided that they could but so would I and they had to be prepared to discuss any of the articles with me. Occasionally I did do it
