2-HeadedGiraffe: More Songs They Won't Play on the Radio
Sorry to keep ranting about radio censorship, but this one has been bugging me. There's a song called "Unfaithful" currently receiving plenty of play on the radio. I think it might be by Rhianna or someone like that. Anyway, the whole point of the song is that the artist's persona in the song is cheating on her boyfriend. It's killing him inside, and she doesn't want to be a murderer. Fair enough. It's a song about murder, in a metaphorical sense.
There's a line that says "Might as well take a gun and put it to his head." They leave out the word "gun" for the radio edit. Now explain that one to me. The song already talks, though metaphorically, about murder, and radio stations talk about guns on the news and stuff all the time. I see no reason why mentioning the word gun if you're going to play that song anyway is inappropriate.
Damn it, people, don't you know censorship is wrong? If a word's not dirty*, leave it in or don't play the thrice-damned song.
*meaning if it's one of those generally agreed upon words that are inappropriate for use on the radio, in TV, etc. You know who you are.
Mood: Annoyed, in a happy way.
Music: A clean version of the song in question.
Etc: River Horse Comics.
