CENSORSHIP ON THE BOX SET!?!?


what the *beep* is up with the the level of censorship on the jackass box set?? without even going into the many stunts that were cut entirely, the use of bleeping on swear words makes no sense at all; any swearing at all in the dialogue is bleeped. f's s's, whatever. okay. then why is the f word allowed to go through uncensored (multiple times and clearly audible) in the lyrics in some of the music?? and what the hell's up with the commentary tracks? the jackass number 2 dvd trailer for this said it was going to be totally uncensored but its not, there's heaps of bleeping, in fact basically the entire skit where dunn has the fish dumped on him is one massive bleep with the commentary on, im not even joking. the strangest thing is that lots of f's and s's get through fine so the bleeping seems to be based on how sexually explicit the dialogue is, like when pontius mentions he drunk horse cum the word cum is bleeped. i dont even think thats a swear word. so that gets bleeped and heaps of f words get through. though again even here the use of the bleep is confusing. like whenever (say) steve-o is saying something like "yeah dude, i got *beep* annihilated" its uncensored, but if he says something more like "so i was *beep* this chick..." then its bleeped. wtf. as if it makes any difference. not that anyone who buys something called "jackass" is gonna give two s***s about swearing, but if they did i really doubt the context would make any difference at all. I also found it strange that the booklet included with the dvd contains uncensored swearing when the show is still bleeped. and the picture on the bonus disc of pontius in his jock strap is unblurred but its blurred in the episode (im actually pleased about this, but its still weird). what the hell are you doing paramount/mtv?? this dvd is unrated/rated high enough in every other country to allow an uncensored release anyway. i really wish they'd just release jackass the same way they did wildboyz and viva la bam. full episodes. uncensored. especially wildboyz, they got it perfect, all swaring is intact, and steve-o's hands are unblurred and even the g-string biki things the guys like to wear are allowed through, with censorship only being resorted to to cover the odd full frontal shot of one of the guys. viva la bam still blurs people flipping people off, the odd f-word (though most get through) and vitos subtitles are censored even though the audios not, so theres still a few bugs with the 'uncensored' viva la bam released.

Just what for the next boxset that will be uncensored. Then after that will be a censored boxset with more "found" stunts. Then the uncensored etc etc etc...

Glad to know Wild Boys dvd is uncensored wonder why they had a frontal shot though?
