This site is an awesome money-saver! I just got all the best jokes from Funny People without all the melodrama and paying 10 bucks.

Bonus because now I know there is some uptight christian housewife watching and transcribing all the 'naughty bits'. I only wish I could have seen her face when she was jotting this down in her Lord's Work notebook: "I sh*t myself and had a boner at the same time,"

Fucking classic.

This made me laugh:

"Most of these moments aren't very funny, and some may see these celebrities as endorsing drug use (some may be, others may be in on "the joke"). The oddest point comes when what appears to be Bob Saget (from "TV's Funniest Home Videos") -- or at least a strong look alike -- stands up in a drug rehab program and says, "I used to suck d*ck for coke. Have you ever sucked some d*ck for marijuana?""

This is NOT in any way the 'epitome of censorship'... it's not EVEN censorship for crying out loud.

It's people who spend WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long watching a movie and noting down EVERY DAMN thing that happens that may in anyone's book be slightly construed as rude or blasphemous.

But they're not censoring anything, in no way is anyone being stopped watching the movie by this (other than parents stopping their kids watching it).

The mindset of someone who would spend this long doing this to the degree they have is scary, but a couple of paragraph version of this... something a bit over and above the 'mild language and nudity' is a good thing to have for the sake of knowing if it's ok for your kids without having to see it first yourself.

Although I think you could glean from the trailer what sort of movie this would be.

Censorship in that it's something that could be used to keep somebody from viewing something


I wouldn't really call that censorship.

Your parents telling you that you can't watch something ≠ censorship

The government telling you that you can't watch something = censorship

The aforementioned site encourages the former, not the latter, so... not censorship.

Censorship has a pretty broad meaning. Whatever else you would like to add to that meaning to make it more specific is on you. But a good look at a dictionary or two will show you that the definition of censorship does not have to be specific to a governmental agency. Censorship can be just as dangerous in the hands of parents. It is the duty of the parent to protect a child from the world around them, but it is also their duty to introduce them to the world in a healthy manner.

I do agree that as a parent you might wanna know if a movie is acceptable for your kid to watch...I just thought this was an EXTREME case
