Censorship is a funny thing. Remember how you would watch programs on TV and see people's faces blurred out or they sit in total darkness doing an interview? I used to watch those interviews and think "Wow - what effective censorship...why don't we just substitue a hand puppet for the actual person next time?" The best thing I've seen is the infamous 'black strip' - the tiny black bar that goes over someone's eyes in some TV programs and in magazines. You call that censorship? What, a black circle is politically incorrect or something? Even online, so many guys' profiles have them stark naked with a black bar over their eyes. I mean what the hell, are you part of a terrorist lineup or something?

The other thing I'm begining to hate is Photoshop. Not just because it's an absolute bitch to use and I'm being forced to use it instead of my beloved Paint Shop, but I am tired of how nearly every image you see has been changed in Photoshop. Even a picture of a freaking apple will be edited so that it looks redder, rounder, and more appetizing. Models are given flawless skin, brighter eyes, fuller lips, washboard abs, bigger boobs - the list goes on and on. Wouldn't it just be better if we had a Photoshop Clinic in real life? We could just walk in, get re-drawn from head to toe, and walk out looking like a million bucks. Or a million pixels anyway.
