Censorship and whingers

I know that I have mentioned censorship before but I'm going to mention it again. Fair is fair where the media is concerned, we have to be very careful what we put on TV radio etc where children are concerned,saying that, have you heard what some kids are coming out with these days?! What about us adults? If a film is shown after 9, 10pm it should be shown as a whole and not chop out half of the scenes due to the content. What I'm talking about is the likes of Channel 4, when they showed Silent Hill which was on around 10 PM some of the scenes were heavily edited, and Channel 5 Recently Tim Burtons Sweeney Todd, again, on around 9PM on Channel five. My mate said it was rubbish due to not much really happening, too much singing and not enough dialogue. I told him about various scenes, mainly about the bloody parts, and he replied that you saw a little bit of blood, then they went to a break, when they came back Toby (the boy) was singing about protecting her, then he was locked in the cellar, (break), the end. Surprisingly BBC 3 showed Kill Bill around 4 times (3rd and 4th time edited) and showed Sin City in it entireity. And on that subject ,the BBC 3 not that I'm complaining more of just an example Air shows like Two Pints Of Larger And a Packet of Crisps etc which contains strong language and strong vulgar sexual content and suggestions (which is quite funny)
And do you know what stuff like this is due to? Whingers. Those people who complain about things they have seen and it offended them or they will be mentally scarred for life. Alot is to do with the old people and "caring" people, people who think they are working for the sake of others. Some maybe religious people who believe that there are things that we shouldn't see or not supposed to see,as it is evil at work, and they maybe right. Give us a choice to watch and to watch it in full, let us make up our own minds, for our own sake and the sake of producers, script writers and directors etc.
Imagine the scenario, you're about to watch a film that's on TV and everyone is telling you how good it is, how scarey it is, how action pact with Scenes of a sexual nature. The film comes on, you watch it and nothing barely happens (because it's been extremely cut) and you say what a load freaking shi-ingles... you tell your friend how bad the movie is, they tell their mates now the next filmthat is written by these people and other isn't going to be greatly received. Anyone remember Hammer House Horrors were they not scarey and bloody? and they were shown on TV. One thing that gets me is; it seems that the slightist little thing that comes on that seems out of place is complained about, are these people bored? As we all know but forget it we have a choice we can choose not to watch it we have the power (with the remote to turn it over) or to switch it off!!
The other thing that's puzzling me is what is the Censors Office? The BBFC rate a film 15, the CO rate it 18. BBFC rate a film 18 and the CO might rate it that or 15. A film rated PG by the BBFC might be rated 12. Hopefully you'll understand what I'm talking about and confusing the hell out of some parents...

Speak English! A Commu(ity)cation Breakdown...

Dis time I's gonna put me blog into "street talk", sort of. It's to show you's what Emma Thomson was on about. cuz she ses dat dis kinda talk makes intel...intell... inter electrical peeple sound fik. Da problem now adays is dat you hav t' keep up wivs da lingo or peeple that dere's somthin wrong wiv you, if you's talking propa like. Da only fing wrong wid dis id dat peeple c'n finds it hard to employ you cuz they don't undastand wat you's is on about. I fink dat tex'in is making fings worser, cuz no wuns havin' a propa conversation(ow! Dat hurt!) no one is having one of those, cuz they've sed what they'z gonna say like. I fink fings things like eastenders donts helps cuz not everyone speaks like dat (I don't fink)in certain parts....
Da ova issue is once you starts to speak like dis it is very hard to get out of. Sometims it ends up comin' out in you's work like, so you get marks knocked of f'r spellin 'n' 'at rite? T' some peeple it c'n be a rite kick in da groins. Dat's coz it reely duz knock you's confidence cuz I's nose a few people who a problem in fillin in things like apillication forums 'n' dont's no wat it's all about or wat's being asked.
Me's not taking the piss 'm trying to show wat's dialogue (probably ) lucks like. Whens we rites fings down, we's see fings from anova lite or notha prospective. I's just likes ova peeple to fink fing thru, espically when they's really impotent (important) documentaries such as job appilications, benefit forearms cousil taxis and Bills. I knows pupils dont's like scool or collages but it's where you're main basic language comes from.
Da main problem iz when we dont's learn whens we finish school, den wivin a few years we's forgots wat we learn. if we dont's re-learn fings wat we learned faded away, Most of it, so wees can't rememba how to spell or do our maffs. Dis is baaaad, as dis becomes a problem, so wees starts to take our anger out on others.
Wats also gets me angry is whens people gets fings wrong, struggle wiv it or doesn't know, peeples calls others thick, thats c'n make me mad. as some people mite hav t' Miss school because they's got physical or mental problems or cud be looking afta a relative. No-one shud eva be called thik,stupid as this c'n make them angry, frustrated and affect dem l8r on in life finkin"I's no good, I's must be what dey say or why wud dey say it?" (Depression, anxiety, worry stress family probs, lack of sleep, overworked not eating well, egotisical people, people who may be jealous of what you have or what you can do. To name a few.)
So's if you's forgot somfink (altho a bit embarassin') asks or gets bucks on it. It's not "swatting" its learning life essensials.
