So um. What's with the magical "you are about to view content that may only be suitable for adults -- oh you're not 18 stfu!" thing that has suddenly appeared in my flist? How's lj working this one? Is it something you do or just something they've implemented, er, somehow?

I am unusually irritated, considering it's not even like I actively seek out adult content, really. I mean, whatever, I'm 18 in a month and I can just change my age on LJ, but still, hey, fuck off, livejournal.

OH! it's just annoying. Like I say, what really annoys me is that I'm over the age of consent and yet b/c I don't life in the States...
And I know what you mean RE:british TV, like here we can say so much more, Americans are always amazed when they get here and are all "what?! all you can't say is fuck and cunt?!"

I forget what it is we can't say here -- I say "here" because while I'm Canadian, the American + Canadian television is inextricably linked and to be honest most Canadians watch American television only because Canadian tv sucks -- but it's ridiculous. George Carlin, if you've ever heard of him, did a routine about it called 'seven words you can't say on television' or something. They might've changed since his day, not sure.

But seriously. Censors need to chill out. They take no issue with violence but if it mentions sex, HOLY SHIT, get the children out of the room. Ignore the fact that sex is (primarily) healthy and normal while murder and extreme violence is entirely the opposite, but you know...

Yeah... I know what you mean.

Fuck You Censors, justSTFU!
