Sep. 30th, 2005 03:15 pmThat "Money for Nothing" song came on a few minutes ago, and I found myself amused again at the fact that the local radio station (and every other station I've heard this song on) will blip out the word "ass" (even when it's quiet/slurred and barely understandable), but will leave the "faggot" from this song alone.
But then, amusement is a constant when it comes to the word-blippers. I'll watch parts of movies I like on regular channels just so I can laugh at the horrendous 'make it safe for the children' editing, but the best one had to be when I was watching Stand By Me as a kid on TV.
Now, I'd seen the non-edited tape that my parents had, and loved it. So imagine my surprise when I get to the part where Gordie shoots the trash can, both the boys shout "JESUS!!" and flee . . .
Except in this version, it just cuts from the gun going off to them running.
Me-- "Oh for God's sake." *puts in tape*
Yeah. There was never much chance of me keeping the Third Commandment. ;-)
