Much more censorship lately
I was watching Kids in the Hall on the COmedy Network last night.

They bleep out the word "Tits"

Since when do we bleep out words in Canada? I've been noticing such things more and more these days on Canadian TV. We're not babies and can hear a few foul words thank you.

Either way, it's letter writing time.

4. I think maybe Comedy is doing it are they owned by CTV
Cause that's another one I've noticed

Funny enough, they bleeped out "Tits" but left in "Dyke" go figure

5. Doesn't CTV show
The Sopranos and the Ozbournes? These shows don't get bleeped, and they are the main network.

7. They're on at 10:00 pm but
you would never see them on NBC, CBS or ABC at 10 without significant bleeping. I think that Ozzie was even bleeped on MTV.

Even look at Sex and the City. They have a cleaned up version on TBS in the States and the original version on Bravo in Canada.

I can't imagine that we would have the same kind of flap about Ms. Jackson's nipple in Canada.

2. I guess the friggin' religious zealots
have gotten to the parliament there, maybe? This extremist fundamentalism is creeping over the entire world like a slime mold.

3. That part is true. I did a little research on this a while back..
Canada isn't immune to them either, alas. Research an event that happened way back called: Tornoto Blessing/Calvary Chapel.

Hell, I'm afraid that the whole world is going to the right too much.

Now THAT scares the shit outta me more than terrorists. :scared:
