Id just like to point out, if it hasnt allready been mentioned. That there isnt all that much media that is censored.
As far as Im aware, Music isn't Censored. (Apart from the ban on Cannibal Corpse in Germany for a while.
Films (at least in the UK) aren't censored. The BBFC are merely a classification company. They don't make cuts to films any more. they just give them ratings on what they see. Any cuts will have been made by the Director in order to get the desired Classification. There are only a handfull of things that are out rite banned, Actual Death, Beastiality, Necrophilia, Paedophilia and a few other things, which I cant remember at the moment.
But then the film is banned all together, not censored.
And as far as Im aware its the same everywhere else.
But, local authorities can overrule a BBFC classification, if they dont agree with it.
for example, the film Sweet Sixteen, was an 18 rated film, but the Director ken Loach argued that it was about the lives of 15 year olds it should be a 15. but cause it said the C word (not crap), more than 4 times, it had to be an 18. There was also violence and drug taking, which bumped up the rating to 18. But some local authorities in scotland, were its set, put it down to 15.
But still nothing was censored.
The only media I can think of thats censored is TV. but thats for the protection of those watching it. between say 3 and 9 the chances are there will be a lot of kids watching TV, even if the programs arnt aimed at them.
I really dont see the harm in waiting for the watershed.
