Private Censorship

Who needs government censorship when we have Wallmart. I'm not completely familiar with the parental advisory sticker, but if it is anything like the MPAA rating system, another self-imposed system, then it probably has certain criteria for the sticker. For example, if you have ever wondered what the difference between an R and a PG-13 movie is, I'll tell you. A PG-13 rating is limited to a particular number of cuss words in a movie and has no nudity. I believe 3 instances of the work fuck will get you an automatic R. In addition, it matters how the word fuck is used. "Fuck you!" is not as bad as saying "I want to fuck her." It all will depend on how many fucks and how you use them. If you don't believe me, I was witness to a conversation with the producers of a movie and they were trying to think of the instances of "Fuck" and trying to get it to 3 or less.

So, I'm sure the record industry has some similar criteria and wouldn't mind a little fucking every now and then. I'm tempted to comment on Wallmart being the biggest distributor of music in the country and the affect of their policy against stocking any album with a parental advisory sticker on it. Not to mention the hypocrisy of the policy when they still sell R movies and violent video games. Apparently it's ok to censor as long as it doesn't take much profits away from the company.

EDIT: I think it is hysterical that spell check wants to change "fuck" to "Fuji".
