I was watching a 19 rated movie last night and this guy was walking around with a blur by his face where and un lit cigarette was which he late lit up, the blur was so stupid drove more attention to what he was doing.

Smoking, knives, genitalia, breasts

All illegal in Korea


I remember the good ol days when they showed lingerie models when selling underwear. Good bye to that too!

It's important for the moral and physical health of the country to mosaic any little thing on TV, like a cigarette or lady-lumps.......... but let's not worry about the thousands of Love Hotels, massage parlours, room salons, sexy bars, etc. which can be found in almost any neighborhood of Korea.

Damn shame because they show filth as "entertainment" on MTV, "Comedy
" (Da-mi-ji), and FOX (which is all porn after 12am)
As if some kid isn't going to snap because they couldn't see a knife wound on the telly.

That reminds me of Japanese adult films. I don't think I'll ever understand the logic behind censoring those.

I noticed the smoking thing a few days ago. I don't remember ever seeing it before, but maybe I wasn't paying attention...

Last night I was wondering why the bloody part of an autopsy on NCIS looked funny and fuzzy. For TV it was fake but they still censored it. Funny!

Ahhh...those were the good old days. I wasted 30 minutes watching a lingerie commercial recently waiting for the chicks to roll out.

Don't forget all the little cards strewn about with lingerie clad (and sometimes topless) hookers advertising room salons, home service calls and massage parlors.

Yah I should just walk around with a little black bar taped to the head of my business. It's ok then right?

Kinda like the nipple=breast concept in the states.

Cause that without that little bit my libido stays perfectly unaroused.

Censorship is a bit of a crock. Anyone see this music video?

Eric Prydz's Call on Me

Get's me hotter than the raunchiest porno.

I remember visiting the UK in high school and being amazed when I saw advertisements for that Shampoo where the women look like they are orgasming, and they were topless!
