censorship in the media is wrong!
Although it is clear is this not a very credible source, the video still brings up some important topics in our discussion of media censorship. This video is explaining how what things are being censored may not make a lot of sense to everyone. In this case, swear words are being censored, not words that have a deeper, more hurtful meaning to some people in history. Therefore, the point that I feel is necessary to get across through this un-scholarly video is that sometimes web sites block certain things while leaving other offensive things up. If you're going to block something that seems inappropriate, you need to block all of it otherwise viewers can still be offended by hearing it and also can become even more offended like this kid did in this case because a word that should of been censored in his eyes, wasn't. So the moral here is that if your going to control something by censoring it in the first place, do it completely and make sure you have all your bases covered so no one like this becomes offended in any way. This video also shows us how people really do care about these issues and web sites like YouTube and Hulu need to pay attention to it and keep their standards high.
