HopelessPyromantic Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 How come when people on TV say "Asshole" they bleep out "hole" but not "ass"? Looks like it would be the other way around... It's kind of like bleeping out bull but not shit. Link to comment

LeadingMan Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Nrp7cj_tM...feature=related As per Carlin, it's because the word Ass is in the Bible, the word Asshole is not. Link to comment

I'm not trying to be like...evil or anything, but isn't it kind of ridiculous how our world (or I guess in this case country) does EVERYTHING by the bible? Can't make their own decisions. I'm 14 and I realize this. Also, these kids are gonna hear these words one way or the other, so why go nuts about it? /sigh Link to comment
winterlong Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Depending on the audience, I do think that sometimes discretion is necessary. For example, if there is a live children's program being filmed, and for some reason someone blurts out a cuss word, I think that its perfectly fine for it to be edited out before being aired.

margot Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I don't see why there should be graphic violence, swearing, etc where young children will easily see it. Of course there shouldn't be censorship of anything marketed at adults etc. It's ineffective anyway, like a lot of people want to censor racist literature, but that won't stop people from comitting hate crimes etc. It'd be kind of like a band-aid...

ROCKSTEADY Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 an ass is a mule, theres nothing terribly offensive about mules. The asshole however is an orifice which excretes feces. I always figured it was the same reason they don't censor "bitch." Link to comment
