Of censors

You know, for a country that sensors "love's suicide" from a song because... well.. I dunno, I guess I reckon they're trying to discourage people from committing suicide. And words like "gun" and a string of other totally random, in-my-personal-opinion harmless phrases that no one would even think twice about, it's weird that Rihanna's song "Rude Boy" is allowed to play freely everyday on the radio.

I mean, c'mon.

Come here rude boy, boy, can you get it up?
Come here rude boy, boy, is you big enough?

For the completely obtuse *cough*censorshipboard*cough*,

in the first line, she's asking the uncouth young man if he can get a boner, and in the second, she's asking him if his d*ck is big enough.

I personally don't really have anything against the song.

I just find it ironic and hypocritical that these kinda songs keep making it through completely untouched, while others that don't talk about having dirty sex with random strangers get butchered to pieces.

Go figure.

censorship in Malaysia?

they blocked 'Daredevil' from our local cinemas completely due to the word 'devil' in the title.

kalau dorang ada 'common sense' , mesti dorang akan bukak kamus dan mesti dorang akan perasan bahawa 'daredevil' is a frigging word, and it means :

daredevil
· n. a person who enjoys doing dangerous things.
– DERIVATIVES daredevilry n.


.... and they'll realize that the word got NOTHING to do with demonology or satanism or black magic or whatever crap their backdated mentality conjectured.

*sigh*

rasanya zurin kene apply jadi lecturer untuk Lembaga Penapisan lah ini macam...
