This reminds me

My cousin's wife was telling me she tried to watch a Gordon Ramsey (celebrity chef) series, after watching it in England on their visit.
The TV station had extreme trouble bleeping out certain words. They missed every other one!
She found it irritating but funny because she knew what he was saying she had already seen it!

It pisses me off when the edit a song on the radio and I'm left with a blank. It really pisses me off on these pussy stations when they edit words like whore, drugs, green, smoke. I guess it just pisses me off when they edit a song.

No editing here.

It's selective censorship Trudi.

The FCC cannot specifically censor any content so it is up to the "local authorities" (read that as each individual radio station) to determine what may be "offensive" or "objectionable" content according to (supposedly) "local standards".

Because of this quirk you might hear the word whore blanked out in Buffalo, NY but stations in Chicago just let it play.

The one I really like is on TV when they say asshole and still let them say ass but bleep out hole.

Morons who work the office in my doctors office. Stupid bitches - he ordered several MRI's and an EMG for me. I get all the way home and double check the paperwork - they have the wrong insurance on there. IDIOTS. Now I have to wait and have them make up new paperwork and mail it to me. I live an hour away so I'm not driving to pick it up.

Then, I notice they forgot to add the MRI in for my wrists. Double idiots.

I wasn't going to complain to him about the shoddy way the office is run but I am certainly going to now! I'm to return in 2 weeks.

You know what pisses me off? People that will do ANYTHING to defend their favorite show's stupid plot or casting decisions. I was watching Once Upon A Time last night on hulu and read the forum afterwards to see if anyone had commented on the use of a brown eyed redhead playing the child version of a brunette man with very striking blue eyes and came on this:

I think you need to go back and pay attention to a biology class. Hair and eyes can change color when you go through hormonal changes. My daughter had the clearest blue eyes up until she was about 2 and a half, and now they are Hazel. My hair was almost white blonde when I was young, and when I turned 12, it started to get a lot darker. My eyes have gone through a color change as well... several times over my 37 years in fact.

Okay, first thing you notice is her not-so-subtle dig at others intelligence and education. She's right though, at least till that bit about her eye color changing several times over her life. Yeah, I don't think so. And a 7 year old kid with brown eyes sure as hell isn't going to have ice blue eyes as an adult. So why are you on a thread about bad casting choices making stupid remarks that 1) having nothing to do with this and 2) are bullshit.

That show's forum really does bring out the worst in people, there are long inflammatory threads having to do with politics, adoption, abortion, etc. It's a freaking fairy tale show, for god's sake! They've sucked all the pleasure out of discussing the show like rational adults. Assholes.

Yeah because my nearly black eyes could change color at any time. She's an idiot. Let her know that her dye bottle and colored contacts do not count as a biology degree.

Babies eyes change from that milky blue to their natural color in the first few months of life and I'm pretty sure you keep the eye color you have forever onward. I've known people with all kinds of eye colors and none of them changed over the years. Hair changes due to the amount of sun exposure, not shedding with age. I know about hair.

But to the point of your post - people like that are posting irrelevant stuff because they're probably too stupid to find a forum where they can talk on those subjects.
