It seems, these days, that almost every show you watch on t.v. (or the ones I watch at any rate) have a disclaimer at the beginning as well as after every commercial break. You know the one that I mean, “This program contains scenes of violence and/or coarse language that may be unsuitable to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.” Now, I won’t get into the violence part, that’s a whole different matter. What I would like to address is the “unsuitable language”.
One of my favourite shows is Hell’s Kitchen. If anyone else has seen this you know that Chef Gordon Ramsay is very fond of using the f-word. This also occurs on a lot of the other “Reality T.V.” out there. However, here’s the funny thing. It’s always bleeped out; the most you hear is “f” then “bleep“. Therefore if you are hearing any offensive language it is in your head.
I think it’s time for the government to step and and censor our brains. It worked on “South Park” when they put the V-chip in Cartman’s brain. Surely it’s not that far fetched. That way the government wouldn’t have to spend it time making up new legislation to “protect” us (i.e. Bill c-10). They could just program the chips to make us do what they want. They could use it for things other than censor-ship as well. They could program the chips to make everyone stop smoking as well. That would be pretty sweet.
