Censorship on TV - American Idiot
Censorship on TV - American Idiot#1
Posted: 4/30/10 at 3:11pm
I just watched the American Idiot performance of Holiday on Letterman. It caught me off guard when I heard them sing the lyric "Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree."
Perhaps I am naive but I would assume that this would be censored on national television...
Or has this word never been censored?

Posted: 4/30/10 at 3:27pmI was amazed that the whole sequence that Theo Stockman sings was included. I'm not sure if it's usually performed, but it was never on the radio.

Posted: 4/30/10 at 3:33pmHey, it's only about killing fags so what's the problem? The Teabaggers see it as a wholesome American ideal. Don't let anyone say Sh*t or F*ck though.

Posted: 4/30/10 at 3:45pmBe careful what you say, there are a lot of tea baggers that have no problem with fags and homosexuality.

None -- they'd view it as justifiable homicide, which isn't murder.
I was out of the country a few weeks ago and heard "Money for Nothing" with the "faggot" line in it, which I hadn't heard in years, since it's censored from US radio. As with the AI song, since it's not being used in a derogatory sense and is making fun of the person using the word, it doesn't really bother me either way.

Censorship on TV - American Idiot#9
Posted: 4/30/10 at 4:19pmI've always found it odd that the "n" word gets censored, but it's totally acceptable to say f*g. They're both equally degrading and inappropriate in my opinion and if one is censored then the other should be too.
