![]() We don't edit the language out of books (anymore), we don't cover nude statues (OK, so the Simpsons makes this point better than me), so why the fuck do we accept edited versions of popular songs? When The Darkness hit it big a couple of years ago "Get Your Hands off my Woman" was played, unedited, on the radio - including the words "motherfucker" and "cunt" - what makes them special? Apparently, most parents are stupid - View image here:. I was in the car with my GF last week and she put on a CD featuring Turin Brakes' "Painkiller" - there's a line in that song which has the words "my love, giving me head" - that line was edited out - on a fucking CD!Ī couple of years ago I remember complaints about songs that were edited kids would listen to them, then ask for CDs or to see live performances that /shock/ included swearing. ![]() Who is offended by the word "nigger"? Obviously not the man himself, not me, not any of my (white) friends. ![]() I spent about 10 hours in my car over the past couple of days - all during daytime and have been listening to BBC Radio 1 (as usual), which is, IMO, the best radio station we have in this country.Īnyway, "Gold Digger" by Kanye West came on (despite my dislike of rap generally I quite like this) and it's immediately obvious that a word has been edited out.
