Censorship

Jodi and I watch a lot of television and listen to the radio quite a bit.  I find our society is a bit backwards in terms of censorship.  I find it hilarious that they bleep out words like shit and blur someone giving the middle finger at the super bowl.  I find this so funny because at the same time, they have gruesome displays of human behavior  on shows such as Criminal Minds and Dexter.  Don't get me wrong,  I love both those shows.  I just do not understand why profanity is on the outs with the censors but,  human mutilation is in.  I also saw a Victoria Secret commercial today where the women had nothing on but their under wear,  breasts protruding for the world to see.  Again,  I am not averse to these particular commercials but,  how is it alright for an eight year old to watch this stuff and not be able to hear profanities.  Have you been on a school play ground in the last thirty years,  kids are already quite in tune with the variety of "cuss" words available to their vocabulary.   Does the CRTC think that when they bleep something out on the radio,  general IQ of its listeners cannot fathom a guess as to what the words are.  I do not have the answers,  just wanted to provide my opinion as I find it all quite comical.

Hope to write again tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday
