Hole in the Ladder: Fallout
Arthur Brash | January 8, 2009 | 18:09Here is my challenge to anyone who thinks bleeping content allows everyone to enjoy a song, movie, or written piece:
Take your favourite piece, and replace with with a bleep every instance of the words silence, noise, devil, hate, god, music and movie. Now do that for everything you see on TV, hear on the radio, read in a magazine. This is what “cleaned up” material sounds like to me - an annoying stuttering as if a technical problem was breaking up the sound stream, or a broken printing machine was allowed to continue to print.
This is the problem with folks thinking they know what others will enjoy. Let’s call the practice what it is: satisfying the lowest common denominator with no consideration for anyone else, not “cleaning up” or “making it enjoyable to all.”
