I was just recently watching a live recording of Green day on MTV and i noticed a very annoying thing. Every time a word like fuck, shit, crap, or fag came up they played it in reverse. Censoring the song! I respect the entire children might be watching and stuff but it was after 24:00... i don't think there is anyone who is under the age of 12 watching at that time...

Do you think censoring media is good or bad?

Yes, this song if fucked but... you get the point, this is a pain in the ass to listening to

oh whine whine whine. listen bub, it may have been 1 am, but that same show needs to air at 6 the same morning. This isn't a case of silencing your freedom of speech, it's a case of making sure that kiddies can tune in and watch Green Day shows without Mummy writing in and complaining

MTV isn't a pansy, parents are. MTV just doesn't wanna get sued by all the crazies out there.

I don't really care that they take "naughty words" out of videos.

Mr Doki has it right here, there are far more people that watch it during none watershed hours that matter more than those who are up at 1am.
A few complaints in the day and they're down the creek, so they take preventative measures.

All my music comes from online or Cd's anyway, I barely notice censoring to such a degree where I'm bound to complain about my freedom of speech.

Hmm MTV in the UK use to have everything uncensored after 9pm when I watched it years ago, had all the swearing but it was mostly an excuse to put on videos that had a lot of nudity.

As for censoring Jim Doki sums it up to be honest.

Yeah, umm... MTV aren't the only ones to censor music you realise?

BBC actually once recieved a lot of complaints for censoring the song Fairytale of New York by The Pogues Featuring Kirsty MacCol because they censored the word "******". The result being they recieved so many complaints over this they almost instantly had to switch back to the original version.

But anyway, The Shade basically sums it up for me:

MTV just don't want to risk anything, even if it was at 12 midnight, and they will take all precautions to guarantee this not happening.

Well, i don't mind the censoring... apart from that it fucks up the songsm the "Naughty words" are played in reverse... that's just, uhm, wrong!

Wait...MUSIC ON MTV? LIES!

I like green day, but im not too much of a fan of the new stuff.

I dont mind the sensoring, What annoys me is sensoring the songs on RB/GH.
