More iTMS silliness

| | Comments (0)

After finding that "intercourse," a perfectly harmless and proper word was censored by iTunes Music Store, I went on a quest to see what else they bleeped out.

Penis? Yup. Censored. Penile is fine, though.
Vagina? Certainly censored. A particulary funny example: "The V****a Monologues"
Dick? Absolutely censored. But, not as artist name. But, if used as a name in a title or album, then yup. Funny, since Negativland has a character named "Dick Vaughn," who continually shows up as "D**k Vaughn."
Cock? For the most part. Funny example: "A C**K and a Hen," and "C**k. Aim. Shoot" as song titles. Joe Cocker isn't censored.
Labia? Nope, that's allowed to live.
Sex? Perfectly ok.
Anus? Acceptable.
Faggot? That's certainly censored.
Dyke? Yup, that too. But, only in a song title. The award for funniest and stupidest example of censorship was a song title named: "D**k Van D**e". Wow, that's a two for one there! Poor Dick. No respect.
Clit and clitorous? Censored, and censored.
Tits? Yes.
Boobs (and variations)? That's perfectly fine.

What about racial slurs?
Nigger is censored, but honkey/honky/whitey/cracker isn't. I call racial discrimination!
Kike and FOB had no matches, so I couldn't use them.

Now it's your turn, see what kind of silly, stupid, and asinine examples of censorship you can find on iTMS, or pick your own music service and try that.
