Um, I never saw it, but the wiki summary says that he was asked to do the newborn series, but, it never actually had him doing so in the film. Correct me if that's wrong.
so you are saying if you did support censorship, this would be where you started?
but no, I hear you, it is hard to defend things that offend your own sensibilities, especially when taken to such extremes. I had a really similar reaction to the stuff PETA published comparing the food industry to the holocaust, among other things.
Re: There are days it can be difficult to hold to freedom of speech.
The beauty of freedom of speech is your implied freedom not to listen. You don't have to agree with the speech. The freedom exists whether you agree with it or not. Change the channel.
It doesn't even come close to destroying my support for freedom of speech, however.
I'm probably one of the most liberal interpreters of freedom of speech.
I DO draw the line at harming (emotionally or physically) children or the "helpless" for the purposes of the freedom of speech, however. I mean this directly, not indirectly. For instance, I think it's bullshit to blame a game publisher/maker for a violent video game that gives a child an idea to stick an M16 barrel into a cats butthole and fire. However, I do believe it's wrong to electrocute a child for a film to show how the government is oppressing us, or something.
Do we really need freedom of speech? I mean, really need it? It's not like we've ever made use of it.

I think it's safe to assume they didn't actually do the things portrayed in the film as the controversy wouldnt surround free speech, but the actual crimes and they'd all be injail instead of defending their "art" to the press
No. It looks intentionally fake in the movie and it's actually a character watching a movie of that happening, not doing it.
This is such a retarded knee jerk response and the movie has been out for ages.
Baby scene NOT the most disturbing scene by far in the movie. Not even close.
