The only free-to-air channel that would normally touch a show like this is good ole national broadcaster SBS that doesn’t seem so concerned with petty issues about swearing.

American TV and Hollywood are showing us more and more blood and gore, closeups of brainmass and slowmo's of pregnant-teenage-girls-exploding-into-obliv... (kough...eeh... sorry. You get the picture, back to topic) Meanwhile, if one of the caracters in the movie or anyone interviewed on TV should dare to utter a "4-letter-word", all the viewers would hear, is a beep. I wonder if the deaf/hearing impared community have felt somewhat discriminated against and demanded that foul language should be censored for them as well. What other reason could there be for the "smears" on the mouths of the swearers? -"smears" on the mouths of the swearers? -"smears" on the mouths of the swearers? (how's your tounge?) God forbid, any form of nudity should occour in the program. Don't get me wrong. I don't NEED to see nudity. I just have problems understanding why governments need to "protect" us from something natural, that most of us often see, while grotesque images of dying and suffering people are thrown into our faces.
