![]() ![]() SETH McFARLANE (Actor): (As Peter Griffin) Oh, we can't say (bleep) my own (bleep) house? (bleep) great, Lois. Comic bleeping has become standard on scripted shows like the animated Fox sitcom "Family Guy." ULABY: It's horrible, and it's hard not to laugh. FRED ROGERS (Actor): (Singing) If it's going to be hard, if it's not going to hurt, I like to be (bleep). ULABY: It makes everything, from the evening news to Mr. NEDA ULABY: The nighttime talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live occasionally features something it calls unnecessary censorship - TV clips with perfectly innocuous words bleeped out. NPR's Neda Ulaby reports that the bleep, you know, the (bleep), has given rise to a new comic technique. So many people are saying words like (bleep) and (bleep) on television, the Bush administration has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on broadcast indecency. If the former is the case, then it seems like a seriously flawed product.A warning to our listeners: In the next item, we're going to hear about (bleep) and (bleep) and even (bleep). I'm not sure how smoothly the product works - when you buy the DVD player are you locked into whatever titles are programmed into it, or can you do "updates" to keep putting new titles into the machine. In that situation, they're not altering and redistributing the DVDs, so I don't see the same copyright violations apply to this product. I do have to say that I don't see a problem (at least legally) with the one company, where they sell DVD players that do the filtering. If the MPAA can sue little old ladies and crush file-sharing sites, what's the problem here? Also, why doesn't Hollywood make the airplane and television edits of movies available on DVD? The point of the doc was to show that there's a market for this stuff (regardless of how stupid it seems to most of us here). Seems like a "no-brainer" copyright violation. Presumably they're making money, so they're buying the official DVDs, editing them, and reselling them (or renting) for more money. I don't get how there's even a question of legality with these companies that sell/rent edited DVDs. These companies suck! And need to be stopped! If they don't like questionable content, don't buy the fucking DVD. ![]() Now that that's gone, the jokes gone and the few jokes, between the two, that follow don't really make as much sense. The whole joke was Tim Medows character seeing Tina Fey in her bra. Is he dead, did he escape, is he smiling waving a middle finger at him? But the "editors" say that we clearly know he's dead, so showing him dead isn't nessisary. Now Damon walks up, looks in and walks away. But because he had blood on his face it needed to be cut. In the original they show a shot of the dead guy. Matt Damon walks up to the wrecked car to confirm that the person inside is dead. The Bourne Supremacy one stood out to me. I was really shocked at the husband/wife team that were removing all the usages of "God" and all instances of homosexuallity.Īnd some of the examples of their edits showed how they hurt the story. I thought it was funny when the Cleanflix guy thought the DGA was ordering a copy of all the movies he'd cut to see "how good his editing skills are." Stupid. And to think they sued directors, like Steven Soderbergh. ![]()
