Nigger? Nigga?

[Bhuddahhoodlum]

i'm big on movies and one of my favorites is pulp fiction. i just about watch it everytime i can and lately it's been on cable. now so far it's showed twice. once on Spike TV and then on Bravo. well anyway, i couldn't help but notice that this, very edited, version of the movie blanked out the word "nigga" when samuel Jackson used it. however, it's not edited when Quentin T's char says it.

personally, i'm over the whole "N" word thing and i never gave flack about the word cause i say it every hour of everyday almost. but it certainly struck me as odd that this movie, and perhaps others, are edited this way. i mean really, there's no fuckin difference. a slur is a slur, nigger is nigger. i don't care how ebonic or well spoken you are.

thoughts?

I agree, if they edit one man saying it everyone should be edited. I find this type of censorship very inconsistant. Its like in some music video's lets say a rap video say's bitch its almost 98% of the time blanked out, then a pop song comes on and slips out the same word and its left in. All I ask in these situations is consistancy either theres a standard across all media or none at all, the latter seems to be the case.

Ya TBS is disgusting. They blocked out ASS and put in Butt instead in this Arnold Swazenagger movie. You can't even imagine how wrong it sounds when Ahnold say butt.

why censorship when they dont censor private parts of other animals? why do we wear clothes? why do we put makeup on? why do we live in houses? do it like the old school neaderthal, live in caves, dont give a crap about your appearance, and dont wear clothes

I love the edited version of Leathal Weapon, he says "Funny Clowns"

and "Fun Guys"

shit is classic.

you guys dont know what censorship is until you watch TBS
the edit out entire scenes
when it shows the matrix, the scene where neo is being interrogating but the agent. he;s like, "well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. but i got a better one, why dont i give you the [FLIPPER], and you give me my phone call"
the flipper part is so fuckin loud it stands out so bad you cant stop laughing
citytv is the shit, they dont hold nothing back they show straight up porn on TV
so does showcase

I hate censorship..that's why I watch cable movies after 1 AM, when they aren't censored.

I don't understand why people want shit censored any way. Over-sensitive ass bitches.
What they should do is add an icon on the screen for movies that have curse words. That way the people who can't stand hearing curse words can flip the channel or turn off the TV. They can always rent Bambi.

And with that, Chronic solved the conundrum that was censorship forever.

 

[MrsMakaveli4eva]

Yeah that is true. If you censor one you have to censor all.

Yeah but they'd have to edit out the part where Bambi's mother dies! It's never ending!!!
I just buy movies I like that way I never have to watch them on T.V besides free to air T.V is b.s, and thats all I can get..
