1. The movie was "cleverly" dubbed over to eliminate swearing, which is a form of censorship.

2. Censorship has, over time, led many people to believe that those who are wealthy are more intelligent, fit, or worthy than those who are not (and corporate America owns these peoples' minds).

The reason why anime sucks so bad when it is "translated" for American audiences.
Thank god I have a collection of subtitled anime shows because the dubs of most of the shows are censored to the point where they are sometimes 30 minutes shorter than the original.

Something I hope never happens to this site.
To all the UD admins out there. I know that Youtube, Facebook and all these other sites have started censoring people's content in order to gain more money and that people have complained about offensive definitions on this site. But censoring what people post will only cripple this site in the long-term and will piss a lot of people off. Part of what makes this website to great is the creative freedom authors have while writing their definitions. People love to look at the clever definitions other people come up with and this site helps them express what different words mean to them, and sometimes it will include profanity and sex. Yeah, there are people who post racist and homophobic definitions. But there's going to be inappropriate shit on the internet no matter what and censoring people's content is not going to change that. You shouldn't get rid of what makes this site so great just because of a few bad definitions. So lets keep this website censorship free and keep the community alive shall we.
