Then again I find it annoying how media in Canada has become so "Americanized".
Censoring product labels with blur, bleeping out the word ass I mean come on even my conservative grandmother said ass. Then there is censoring of any and all nudity which was rare when I was a kid you'd often see bare breasts on TV at 8pm in the evening.
Now every damn show has "warning some viewers may be offended by strong language or adult ...blah blah blah.
- dmcginty 10y agoBlurring product labels isn't about censorship; it's usually because shows that go to syndication don't want to violate any promotional clauses. Like, if I'm a television station and one of my primary sponsors is Coca Cola, I probably can't (or at least shouldn't) buy a show that shows a person conspicuously drinking a Pepsi.
- dghughes 10y agoI understand the reason for the blurring but the suppressing of an image at the request of a rival seems to be censorship.
