(n) a suppression of certain types of definitions without explanation on a supposedly free Internet forum
Sometimes new definitions submitted to this website become ghost posts; this is a form of Urban Censorship. One tends to wonder why a short and simple definition for one-termer was confirmed but never posted while a huge definition for Operation Iraqi Freedom that rambles on an on for several pages is allowed to remain.

Get the Urban Censorship mug.For those of us in the US we do NOT enjoy the right to free speech (even though it is in the constitution). The supreme court ruled in the Miller case that "obscene" materials are not protected under the 1st amendment and can be banned or regulated; translation: regulated censorship is constitutional thanks to a few activist judges who wanted the government to impose its morality on us. Basically if the subject or content is sexual in any way then whether its obscene or not is up for majority vote; they actually said if the average person would be offended by it and think that it had no artistic value (if you weren't offended by it or thought it was a work of art why would you want to ban it in the first place). This is why it is illegal to give porn to minors, because it shows sex even though this should be decided and enforced by the parents the government is getting involved. Also there's no law against showing violent material to minors, so basically its worse to expose them to consensual sex than murder.

Get the censorship mug.A really funny segment of the Jimmy Kimmel show that features a tribute to the FCC, in which they bleep and blur the week in television whether it needs it or not.

Get the unnecessary censorship mug.An easy substitute for lazy parents that shouldn't have had children in the first place if they cant teach them the difference between right and wrong.
Idiot parent groups - "We will not let our kids be subjected to this sort of content because they will start going out and killing people!"
Enlightened Person - "Maybe if you weren't negligible parents and taught your children the difference between right and wrong then we wouldn't have the problems that we do in society"
