Olympic ceremony censored by the US.


Of all the things you might expect to be censored I would have thought that the Olympic ceremony would have been the last; a ceremony emphasising respect, love and the unity of humanity.
But NBC thought otherwise, and took particular exception to the topic of love.

It is with some pride I think that Star Trek TOS had the first interracial kiss, between Kirk and Uhuru- this did receive a certain amount of censorship in the US, and some stations still hold a ban on that particular episode I am given to understand.

In a similar way the UK gave us the first example on world television of a Lesbian kiss, curtesy of "Brookside". During the Olympic display, during the montage of events and historical happening of the 20thC projected against the House in the middle of the stadium, this kiss appeared from a fleeting sub 2seconds. It is a triumph, although a minor one that this image was broadcast into millions of homes throughout the world, even Saudi-Arabia had this beamed directly into their homes.
But obviously this was too progressive, shocking or evil for the free-est country on earth; NBC managed to edit it out to save the shame and horror of their delicate viewers.

As usual, you demonstrate your profound moronity by confusing NBC with the US.

The most profound form of censorship is the voluntary kind.

Why do you equate NBC with the US? NBC is a private corporation, and is free to broadcast or not broadcast what they want within the guidelines of the FCC (now there's a government agency involved in censorship, you mindless monkey, or maybe dumb baboon).

Look, bloke, the man was talking about government censorship and the land of the free. There's more damn censorship in Europe than you can shake a stick at. You almost have to get permission to fart.

Censorship in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Censorship in the United Kingdom has a long history with variously stringent and lax laws in place at different times. Censorship of motion pictures, video games and Internet sites hosted in the United Kingdom are considered to be among the strictest in the European Union with the strictest being Germany.

That is in cinema, not the "UK."

Nothing different from any country in the Western World.
