Censored (again)
October 23rd, 2009
In case you missed it, this kindof ties in with Wednesday’s strip.
All of these are totally real, by the way. Not making it up. You see what I mean about wanting to be the dude that writes this? How would that not be the most fun ever!
I wanted to include the famous ghostbusters clip as well. Remember this dialog:
RAY: If it wasn’t for dickless here.
MAYOR: Is this true?
PETER: Yes, your honor. This man has no dick.
Thats one of my favorite little moments in that movie, but it got drastically changed for TV:
Somehow, it just doesn’t pack the same punch.
Have a good weekend everyone, tune in next week, where is Halloween week! (AKA Halloweek, AKA Halloweak)

I hate TV edit movies. I say, if you’re going to edit out the swears, just use the method of muting it. I prefer the ones where there’s just silence in place of the edited out parts.

I agree, Chris, its certainly not like they’re fooling anyone. And most often, the new dialog will completely ruin a scene, just like in “the usual suspects.” I’m supposed to believe that a carjacker is pointing a gun at people calling them fair godmothers? That just makes the criminal look ridiculous and nonthreatening, which is the opposite of the intended effect, and completely breaks the believability of anything.
