I understand bleeping, but blurring the mouth out as well? Seems to be overkill.

Were a nation of prudes...yet for some reason we have no issue showing extreme violence and gore in our movies...just make sure no one hears fuck or sees a nipple. That could scar them for life.

Chances are you're watching shit with commercials. I'm done with that. Every year the shows get shorter and the commercials get longer. Fuck that.

Unfortunately, I can't get around that with NFL but that's all I can handle and that's getting worse and worse too.

Uh...

The same movies showing extreme violence and gore can also say fuck and show nipples?

It's called being R-rated.

Thats always been the case. Its only network TV that has to censor but cable can say anything. Those networks tend not to usually because it could affect sponsorships.

What's weird is "damn" or "dammit" are usually not censored but "goddammit" is.


And they'll usually censor God in it
