mtv censorship

When you watch MTV late at night (when they show videos), you'll probably notice that they censor a lot of words out.

That won't mean much to you if you're not familiar with the music. But I'm a cultural sponge, so I know the lyrics to a LOT of music.

MTV's censorship astounds me. Someone at MTV is the most politically correct asshole who has ever lived on this planet.

I just saw the weirdest example of this. The song "Stand up" by Ludacris was playing. In this song, he says the following:

"Watch out for the medallion, my diamonds are reckless, feels like a midget is hanging from my necklace."

Sit and look at that sentence for a bit and try to guess what they did to it.

MTV bleeped the word "midget" from this song.

You have GOT to be kidding me. I know we're descended from a bunch of puritans, so we can't have cool videos and commercials like they do in Europe, with profanity and nudity. That sucks, but I'm used to it. But do we have to be so politically correct that we can't say words like "midget", because it might offend people?

I'm just waiting and watching now to see what else the PC police will bleep. Maybe rappers won't be able to talk about big butts, because fat girls would get mad? Maybe they'll start bleeping words like "retarded" or "sick"?

Maybe my head will explode first. Or I'll go on a rampage and sodomize all the oppressive, repressed PC bastards.
