Singularity

WTF?!

Jan.19, 2007, filed under Miscellany

Is it a rude word?The video for Gaybar by Electric Six (we are not worthy!) just came on one of the digital tellybox channels. The Hits, I think. Or something like that. Double figures, anyway. Unintelligible adverts featuring scantily clad women doing odd things with gym balls made of the same shade of latex as unflavoured condoms.

They bleeped out the words “war” and “nuclear” with the sound of a whipcrack. So it went sort of like this:

Let’s start a pksssshhhh!
Let’s start a pksssshhhh pkssshhhh!
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar…”

I thought pixellating the pepper grinder was bad enough. Is this the state of play now? We have to bleep out perfectly good words because… well, actually, I can’t think of a reason why they would do that. It’s just fucked-up.

Frood is off gallivanting, by the way. Christmas party, dinner, clubbing and staying over in Embra with a colleague. Only told me yesterday. I am all alone and have no one to play with.

Woe is me.
