Censorship is a tool of the devil. Especially when it's used to censor artistic creations (film, music, TV, video games, ect). More often then not, censorship is downright ridiculous - I.E. The morons who made a huge deal about the hot coffee mod on GTA, like seeing a poorly animated girl bobbing her head is somehow so much worse then the act of killing police officers and beating hookers to death with a baseball bat and stealing their money.Just a backwards ass society we live in.
yeah, censorship always confuses me... i mean they censor a show like law and order or some music but the 6 oclock news shows way worse stuff imo.
Because society is under the impression fictional blood and gore is somehow worse then real blood and gore. That the fictional promotes impressionable children to go out and do it.
For one, they underestimate children's intelligence. Children aren't dumb enough to go out and do what they do on Grand Theft Auto, they know they'll be consequinces, harsh consquinces for those actions.
Secondly, if a parent can't raise thier kid right, or won't acknowledge they are a lunatic, then it's not the fault of the producers if that child go's beserk. They can't be heald accountible for some dipshit.
Instead of worrying so much about what children see, they should worry about what children do. It's disgusting to know there are 13 year old girls getting abortions because they are sexualy active, maybe it's time parents started implementing the violance they so religously try to shut their children's eyes and ears from.. There's no excuse for the debautchery in today's youth, and mindless video games and rap music are sure as hell not to blame.
here's an interesting article i just read in the ny times. It talks about the whole issue and groups like the PTC and TV Watch that are battling...
Parents Group Warns Against 4 Fox Shows
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 8:50 a.m. ETNEW YORK (AP) -- Four Fox network programs, led by the comedies ''The War at Home,'' ''Family Guy'' and ''American Dad,'' topped a parents group's annual listing of the worst prime-time shows for family viewing.
The Parents Television Council rated two aspirational reality shows, ABC's ''Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'' and NBC's new ''Three Wishes,'' as the best programs for family viewing.
The group's president, L. Brent Bozell, said he was alarmed that the three Fox Sunday night comedies are being marketed as family friendly.
''Families should not be deceived,'' he said. ''The top three worst shows all contain crude and raunchy dialogue with sex-themed jokes and foul language. Even worse is the fact that Hollywood is peddling its filth to families with cartoons.''
A Fox spokesman said the network never comments on reports by the Parents Television Council.
But TV Watch, a lobbying organization started by the networks to oppose governmental regulation of television, objected to the list.
''It is far more constructive to encourage parents to decide what their children watch on TV by using ratings or screening shows than to hurl insults at shows enjoyed by millions of Americans,'' TV Watch spokeswoman Kathy Roeder said.
The Fox drama ''The O.C.'' was fourth on the PTC's list of worst prime-time shows for families. Add in ''That '70s Show'' and ''Arrested Development,'' and the network that tries to be hip for young viewers makes up 60 percent of the list.
Television's two most popular programs -- CBS' ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'' and ABC's ''Desperate Housewives -- are also cited as bad family viewing. So were ''Two and a Half Men'' and ''Cold Case'' on CBS.
The group said it makes its determinations based on the amount of bad language and sexual and violent content, giving more weight to shows that appear earlier in the evening when children are likely to be awake, said Melissa Caldwell, its research director.
Fox's ''American Idol,'' which returns in January, made the group's list of best family viewing experiences. Two new shows, CBS' ''The Ghost Whisperer'' and UPN's ''Everybody Hates Chris,'' also made it.
Bozell said the group couldn't even come up with 10 prime-time shows it would recommend for family viewing. Its list stops at nine.
