Seriously!?!?!

So, we get "edited" versions of films ALL THE TIME when they are shown on television. I can't understand why it's such a big deal to see a film that is edited...before it's edited for TV. Where is the line here, so it's okay for films to be edited for TV, and these filmmakers don't make a fuss, but it's not okay not when they are edited for families before hand, hmmmmmm.

So my grandpa wants to see Gran Torino but he doesn't want to hear all the bad language in the film...and it's not on ABC, CBS, NBC, TCM, AMC, ETC in an "edited" version so he rents it at this particular clean flix joint, wait! Holy S**t we can't do that it's going to interfere with the filmmakers creativity. Wait wait, it's on NBC okay that's fine, for a minute there I thought you were gonna tell me someone watched it in an edited form before it was edited for TV, you really scared me, don't ever do that again, whew! Now back to my lobster dinner.
