IMO,Some great, some annhh, but I wonder when did we give our power away to the control freaks who decide what is appropriate in print and war?
^To anonymous. What may seem appropriate to you may not seem appropriate to others. Take things into consideration when handling the public. Just because you have the right of free speech, press, etc., it does not guarantee that you are allowed to just create or talk in ways that could offend or harm certain groups. You can do it in private, but when the public is involve it's more controlled. Call it BS but when it's aim at you, it would a be different kind of BS.
The Tony Blair one - does the reason this is banned mean that we can make no reference to Hitler at all for fear of offending people?
Because aside from Tony Blair, I can't see who would be offended by that who would be offended by any other mention of a certain maniacal dictator from the 30's.
Fucking censorship.
