Screwiest CENSORSHIP youve ever seen?

I love happy endings. But I hate Fight Club memes, and I imagine this ripped open the edgelord/beta machismo portal to unleash more upon the internet.

In another article I read about this, they mentioned that Bohemian Rhapsody was released there, but without any mention of Freddie being bi/gay and having AIDS. So, was it a one hour movie?

I was watching Law and Order:SUV reruns yesterday and one episode had some guys rob a family restaurant and assault one of the women there. There's a medium shot where one of the bad guys is threatening a woman and he's got his gun in her face. You can clearly see the gun. When he touches the gun to her cheek for like 2 seconds, the gun is blurred. But when he moves it back a couple of inches, the gun image is clear again.

In the Waterboy movie there is a point where the kicker, who is black, is visualizing the football as the head of a Ku Klux Klan member before kicking it. On TV, that is always edited out. Why?

When he kicks the ball, does it still look like the Klan member's head? If so, maybe violence reasons?

Any time someone yells "Forget you!" when it's obviously a dub for a different word.

Nope. Its just a football. You never see the KKK head, so the whole "visualize" thing makes no sense.

"You see what happens, Larry? You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?!"

"I've had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!"

"My name is Buck, and I'm here to party."

Slenderman movie. The Ad featured a girl stabbing herself in the eye with a pen. When the film finally came out that scene wasn't in it. They didn't want a horror movie to have anything horrifying in it...

I've seen the movie. They fully succeeded in not having anything horrifying in it.

Another LaO:SUV one...The reruns routinely edit out slurs that originally aired prime time. One particular episode, they left in the D-word for Italians. I'm wondering did someone just miss it, or did they leave it cuz they thought it's not as harsh as the W-Word? ( same episode edited out the F-word for gay people)

bumping this to avoid double threads

(ugh, I've started two threads. Sorry!)

The censorship of Major from Fawlty towers ('no, Indians are wogs, those are...") We can't joke about embarrassing, out of touch old racists?

Possibly because Tootsie went out of its way to show Hoffman's character as straight.

Most likely. Milton Berle did it constantly during the '50s and nobody batted an eye, FWIW.
