Some old favourites: 1) When they replace swear words with other dubbed words for TV broadcast. A particular favourite of mine is "Monkey Feather" for Motherfucker. Or "This is what you get when you meet a stranger in the Alps!" 2) The infamous American TV broadcast of Blazing Saddles where they took out all the fart sounds of the fart scene, and it looked like the cowboys were performing some elaborate ballet by lifting their buttocks in a choreographed performance piece. 3) I am old enough to remember when the rating MA came in in Australia. It came in due to the fact that the film Total Recall was initially rated R (18+), which meant people under 18 could't see it, but then they removed I think 4 seconds of film, (either one slap or one use of the word gently caress), and it became M, meaning anyone could see it, (reccomended for 15 and over). This highlighted teh absurdities of the movie rating system.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:I'm not really sure why Hillary gets so worked up about children and video games. It just seems like a relic of the moral panic about video games in the 90s with things like DOOM and Mortal Kombat. Moral Panic is a great vote winner. Especially when you are a 'concerned parent/grandparent' see also war on drugs/crime.

Whilst I don't remember the specifics, when the previous Australian government was trying to put in it's wowserish antiporn internet censorship thing "for the sake of the children", an opposition MP showed the absurdity of it all by showing that it would block her from searching for "strawberry tart" due to the percieved sexual overtones. I may be/probably am wrong on most of the details here.
