text: why does the government...? care more about the censorship of songs and movies and other things than the war in iraq and more important things. last night i was listening to the radio and a song came on by eminem and almost every other word was bleeped out. some of the bleeped out words had nothing to do with cussing, drugs, weapons, ect. and now im listening to censored eminem cd. one of the bleeped out words in the 2 track is satan. and in another track on the same cd the same word isn't bleeped out. i dont get it. i agree to some extent. but you can't have eminem cussing his brains out on the radio with little kids listening. i listen to his music and love it, but i can buy the cd and listen to the cussing on my own with nobody else having to hear it if they don't want too.  i know, you could tell me, just turn the station if i don't want kids to hear it. but, we are not that naive to think that when parents are not around, that they will turn that station  on and hear a verbal assault of the f-word. my point is, that words like that do influence people. if music,movies, and video games had no influence on people, then why do companies spend billions of dollars in advertising?
