Hole in the Ladder: Fallout

Arthur Brash | January 8, 2009 | 18:09

Here 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.”

Hey, You!

This is a creative project first and foremost. You'd have to be insane to take literally anything written here.
