What the hell MTV?!

This was on MTV today and they were at the part where Chris was talking to Jamie about going to see the Notebook and Chris's brother goes "Dude the notebook is so gay" But only they deleted out Gay, as it were a bad word.

And I'm just thinking really MTV? After all that garbage you have on your network that's called Jersey shore and you can't let them have a joke where someone calls a movie gay? But yet on Jersey Shore they will let them say the word Bitch over and over again. And every other word is the bleeped F word? Plus it promotes drinking and going out and screwing every night. That's fine, for your so called network, but not letting them say a joke? When did the world become so goddamn PC over a word? I mean a movie has no feelings if you call it gay. Its not gonna kill itself over that cause they are ashamed! This is the same thing that happen with that movie with Vince Vaughn, where he called a car gay in a trailer and it was taken out cause it was deemed offensive.

I just turned it to this movie on MTV and they have cut out 2 hilarious scenes in the 15 minutes I have been watching it. They cut the scene at the diner where they switch food and he sips the water and says he's stuffed (funny scene) and the scene where he freaks out in his car after dropping her off from the diner and she comes back because she forgot her gloves. Why show the movie at all if you are going to cut out funny scenes.

I just watched it on Comedy Central and they did the same freaking thing...

If Jimmy cracked corn and no one cares, why is there a song about it?

They probably cut some of it out to make room for all those commercials they need to shove in there to force-feed you mass-machined crap you don't need, and they edit out 'gay' because it's gotten to where that insult is not tolerated, it is less tolerated than the 'n' word at this point. I can see why, but, at the same time...WTF???

Man, that's so gay!

Seriously, the PC police need to die. Something's wrong when you have words like the f-bomb being tossed around like water, sh** and stuff being alright, as are th b****es and hos, then you say, "Man, that's gay!" and everybody hardass is all, "Dude, that's not cool! Be more considerate towards other peoples' feelings!". Seriously. It's like we are living in a parody of a double standard. Either all are alright, nor none are alright. You can't pick and choose which are tolerated and which are not. All or none. It's like people wanna have their cake and eat it too. Damn post 1990s wussyass PC society, trying to fool themselves into thinking they are more understanding and sensitive than they actually are, but only when it's convenient to themselves.

Unless it's on HBO, Showtime or Starz, I won't watch movies that air on TV here in the US. The Sopranos and every other HBO and Showtime show as well as R-rated movies air unedited on tax-funded public TV networks in Sweden at an appropriate time at night when young children are expected to be in bed and their parents can decide for themselves what sort of entertainment they want to be subjected to.

You must remember that many gays work for the media. They control what is deemed offensive. Look at all the pro gay propaganda shoved down our throats whether it's on 90210 or Real World. Gays are always the victims and the only people disagreeing with their harmful and dangerous lifestyle choice are thugs. As if being against the homosexual lifestyle implies that you hate gays automatically. No, you can disapprove of a person's lifestyle and still show them love and respect, just like Jesus Christ did. But MTV has no qualms about promoting promiscuity, fornication, brawls and moral decay on Jersey Shore whose protagonists' only claim to fame is outrageous behavior. 20 years ago it was unthinkable that no-brainers could ever be famous. Trailer trash has been elevated to stardom. Thanks, MTV! Beeping out "gay" is gonna save the world!

I watched it on TBS and they silenced "homo."

It's odd for me to see movies from back then where the use of word gay and *beep* are used casually as an insult because it's so not acceptable now which is weird because that was so normal back then. I am not going to mourn that but it's just weird how things change.
