Dear Commissars,
Trying to determine vulgarity on a case-by-case basis is clearly confusing everyone. In order to avoid any further misunderstanding, I would like to propose the following:
Trying to determine vulgarity on a case-by-case basis is clearly confusing everyone. In order to avoid any further misunderstanding, I would like to propose the following:
| USUALLY GOOD | USUALLY BAD |
| The celebration of body holes that God makes | The celebration of body holes that man makes |
| The consensual kissing and fondling of the body | The non-consensual shooting, stabbing, and exploding of the body |
| Seeing any part of the body | Seeing any part of the body being shot, stabbed, burnt, blown up or otherwise violated |
| Words meant to provoke thought, emotion and laughter | Words meant to provoke violence |
Call me crazy, but isn't this a much saner approach to censoring what we see on TV? I suppose you might quibble with it if you had an unconscious agenda to use mass media to create a fear-based, blood-thirsty, war-happy culture that is addicted to the adrenaline rush provided by graphic images of violence and death while simultaneously imbedding everyone with feelings of shame and self-loathing in order to foster obsessive-compulsive consumerism, not to mention brisk drug and alcohol sales. But thankfully, that's not the case.
