Censorship

In Chapter 14 of Big Mouth & Ugly Girl we see a blatant example of censorship in America. But wait... what happened to freedom of speech? Freedom of the press? Those rights are guaranteed, aren't they???

We are going to talk quite a bit today about censorship...why it happens and if it really is ever necessary. But first-- listen to this song. If I were to tell you that I did not know the REAL words to the song until I bought Nickelback's CD, would you be shocked? Listen to the song, read the lyrics, and I will show you the parts that most American radio stations censor before the song ever hits the airwaves...... and you have to decide WHY.
