20/20? How can they be mad at a news show, I mean its not like kids watch it anyway, I mean come on, do they have any arguments against them?

If they had the Cosby Show up there I would probably think they were racist.

Family Guy and South Park weren’t on the list since that list is only through 1992. Neither of those shows existed then.

Scooby Doo?! What the hell is wrong with Scooby Doo?!

And it’s just me or stuff like Stingray, Charlie’s Angels and Dukes of Hazard would have been censored already if it was really bad? I mean, how old are these series?

Now, Captain Planet… what’s next? Sesame Street and the Muppets?

What the hell does this guy do for fun?

Application form

Please list your occupation: Professional spoilsport

And as for those companies… yeah, well, I want to violently murder him for placing Cadbury-Schweppes on the list, but what the hell does he suggest we eat? Or drive? Must we all enjoy parsnip and turnip stew (homegrown, of course- unless suddenly vegetable patches are the work of Satan) before hopping in our 2CVs and going for some recreation… 6 hours of telling him (in his words, of course) why we all suck in god’s eyes. :thud: He seriously needs that obelisk removed from his backside. :hyperven:

What a douche… My view on censorship, if you don’t want your child to hear, or see it. Then don’t allow them to watch it, some others may enjoy it. People just need something to bitch about all the time. Music Censorship though is the thing that makes me mad. I think music is an art, just like art in a museum, or poetry you can read, anything. We don’t censor poetry, we don’t censor works of art, then why censor music?

Not that he probably doesn’t want to.

One can only wonder what chaos Eminem would have caused back then :hahaha;

About as much as Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC did, I’d expect.

They were the big targets for the PMRC (Public Music Resource Center) headed by Tipper Gore. Of course, the only band they could actually target eventually was Dead Kennedys for “Distribution of Harmful Matter to Minors” or something.

Those who want to silence, only do so because they themselves are afraid that they are so weak minded they will be corrupted. Nod, nod

No, they just think they know what could corrupt us and see how they can force their beliefs of what is “Right” and “Wrong” on us. Like the little thing called life didn’t do a good enough job already.

Foolish are those who see the world in black and white. While I can understand the objections to most of those shows, it is utterly ridiculous to think that censorship will help anything. Unattainability increases desirability.
