Lol, censorship run amok
 
The prudes get their censorship... taken to an illogical extreme.

Quote:
ATLANTA - So much for God and country, at least during some in-flight showings of the Oscar-nominated movie "The Queen." That's because all mentions of God are bleeped out of a version of the film given to some commercial airlines.

Even in these politically correct times, censoring references to God in the film wasn't a statement of some kind. Rather, it was the mistake of an overzealous and inexperienced employee for a California company that edits movies selected for onboard entertainment.

The rookie censor was told to edit out all profanities _ including any blasphemy _ for the version of the movie distributed to Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, Air New Zealand, and other carriers.

So the new censor mistakenly bleeped out each time a character said "God," instead of just when used as part of a profanity, said Jeff Klein, president of Jaguar Distribution, the company that distributed the movie to airlines this month.

...

In-flight viewers of the film at one point heard "(Bleep) bless you, ma'am," as one character spoke to the queen. In all, the word "God" is bleeped seven times in the version.

God--God--God--God
I'm not sure the guy that did the editing was an Idiot, he was probably a "PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL SORE LOSING BUSH HATER" trying to force his own ***** on the people, his boss probably gave him "a wink" because he was probably another "Bush Hater".

With knowing exactly what you are talking about, I'm going to assume some right winger called Obama, Osama? Doing the Real World math, it would add up to one of the Cheney X, oops, my bad deals.

Am i right in my assumption?
