This is probably going to be a short one. I'm so pissed off that I might have trouble writing more than a few coherent sentences.
Not 20 minutes ago I was watching an old-ish episode of The Simpsons (yes I still occassionaly watch cartoons. Deal with it) where the town falls under prohibition laws. At the end of the episode, conflict is resolved, characters remain the same. Though one thing was a little different. Normally this episode ends with Homer Simpson giving a short speech:
"Here's to alcohol. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."
However, someone in the great almighty powers of government censorship decided that Homer's choice of words was particularly blase, and unacceptable for little kiddies. So they cut it. The last 10 seconds of the episode gone. I wouldn't have noticed it if the cut to credits was so unnatural.
What the Fuck.
Seriously, it is not going to damage a child hearing a cartoon advocate drinking. Censorship strikes again, and while I'm not all for swearing, and incredible violence on television during the kid's afternoon hours, there is a line to censorship, and I believe the Australian Communications and Media Authority stepped WAY over the line on this one. The show is already rated PG, as in Parental Guidance. Why don't parent's stop expecting the government to do their work, and start RAISING THEIR CHILDREN?! When little Timmy asks "Daddy, is alcohol really the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems?" Daddy should say "No, Timmy, alcohol is bad for you. It can make you feel really sick.". Feel free to use that line, incompetent parents, I've no use for it. I'm angry, and barely able to string sentences together, and I already did a better job of raising your children than at least 40% of all parents out there. I'm being generous, because even just 40% is an alarming amount of dumbass children. Though it's probably much more.
Hmm, maybe not so short afte-
