| | I was driving home alone and switched the radio on to fill up the silence. Although I am more of a folk song fan, I do not discount any other genres of songs played on the airwaves. Cycling through channels, I came across an upbeat song on Hitz.fm and the title of it is I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry. I have heard and seen this song before on Astro Television's music channels and it is about a sexually experimental encounter of a lady in a night club. She kisses another girl and confesses that she likes it. Here is the chorus of the song:
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Now, on the radio, what caught my attention is the bleeping out (silencing actually) of word 'girl', i.e.
I kissed a **** and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a **** just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a **** and I liked it
I liked it
What the fuck is the point of censoring 'girl' when the following line has the word 'her' which is in reference to the gender of the person whom she kissed? Are the people responsible for filtering these songs that stupid or do they assume that the general public is not educated enough to understand something this simple? If they figured that people would be offended by a noun in an already controversial song topic, why bother playing the fucking song in the first place?
Same thing goes for the movie rating system in this country, totally pointless. I have seen many movies in the cinemas which were rated 18SX or 18SG but were completely butchered into an inconsistently rated viewing experience. Do the same censoring nitwits think the general public is too soft to accept what they paid to see or are they incompetent with the definition of their own given rating?
With the current political happenings that is going on in this country, whatever they censor pales in comparison because they are real. We have sodomizers, an explosion, lying politicians, stealing from the nation's funds, contradictory statutory declarations, government conspiracy theories etc and its all printed in our newspapers for the public to read day to day while thinking how much more can they take of this nonsense.
In conclusion, read my title you censoring pricks.
