novapsycheIn AMC's broadcast of Blazing Saddles today, it silently censored racial and gender slurs. I clearly remember in late 2008 watching it and it wasn't edited out.
I'm not normally for censorship, but I'm heartened that I can watch cable TV in the afternoon without hearing what I consider obscenities.
Edit: Actually, upon further thought, I feel worse about the censorship. A film is a work of art, and it should be appreciated in total. I still don't want to hear slurs over live airwaves, as I so distinctly remember from two years ago.
