Over-censoring
by *viewer876 on Comments
There's a commercial with a minivan driving slowly down a long road. and at the bottom of the screen it says 'DO NOT ATTEMPT. PROFFESIONAL DRIVER ON CLOSED COURSE'. A proffessional driver just to drive really really slow down the street? It's a warning to keep people from getting seriously injured from driving safely! And on DuckTales, Magica disguises her self as Mrs. Beakley to get the dime. Just before she transforms she says "Turn me into fat old Beakley!" Thing is, if you make a fat joke or old person joke these days, you offend two thirds of America. There was a WARNING VIEWER DESCRESION IS ADVISED before Andromeda! And the new Star Trek show. It annoyed Dad, because the 'warning' stays up for 10 seconds, forcing you to gawp at it for a long time. On Duck Dodgers, they cut out a part where DD gets a robotic brain and tells someone about how leeches are good for your skin. The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show has ALL the comical violence cut out. Now there's stupid warnings and censoring on cartoons, coffee, TV shows, comics, clothing, and on and on. Has anybody seen the Family Guy episode where everyone decides to outsmart the FCC? I almost watched it but I got tired of staring at the WARNING they ran before the show.
