dubious morals of the various tv channels

[adi]

classic example tonight - UK Horizons - 7pm - Clarkson's head to head - 90% of the programme shows cars been shagged senseless round a disused airfield.....no prblem their - gets to the part where he starts killing a hyundia accent - and the ENTIRE 5 minute sequence gets junked...........????

same on MTV recently - eminems "what about dre" video is on - the song contains the lyrics ".....dre standing at the side of a burned down house / with a can full of gas and a packet full of matches...." - "can full of gas" and "matches" were blanked out. Most "nu-metal" and "hip-hop" videos contain what some people would call "offensive" hand signals, and these are blurred out, yet references to drugs are gleefully left in.....its all utter madness

The part when the programme stops to make way for commercial interuptions is one step toward the commercialisation of media designed to find new applications for glass vacuum manufacturers.

Poetic and artistic license has gone one step too far if life imirtate art then art is ... life and life is ... life so the art gets it in the end.
