Something's wrong in the censorship board.

Perhatian! Warning! Abunai! Achtung! Attencion!


This post contains curse words. They're not from me though (OK, SOME OF IT). If you see the curse words and can't bear with them, just replace it with nice words such as "darn", "funk" or "What the Funk".

Long time ago, Beyonce Knowles came out with her new single "If I were a boy". When I heard it the first time, it sounded ok. It's meaningful, a hint of sarcasm on top, and mix it with a powerful voice and it's a great song that would top music charts.

Three days later, when I heard the song again in my car for the second time, I noticed something different.

The censorship board censored the song. The word "beer" was put to silent. WTF?

I think it's bloody ridiculous.

Seriously, I do.

Why bother censoring "beer"?

Is it because the censoring board are afraid that Muslims will somehow be influenced by the song and drink it?

It's not like we do not see beer advertisements in the cinemas.

If the board is censoring songs and television shows, they should censor the cinema ads first. It's much worse. Not only you HEAR the word beer, they SHOW you beer. Not only they make the beer sound good, they make it look good too.

That's more fucked up than listening to Beyonce's song, don't you think?


*************************************

If the board really wants to censor songs, here's something to think about.

Honestly, There are worse songs out there in the market that needed censoring. And they are even worse than just the word "beer".

And ironically, these songs came into our music scene without censor and some of them even got a place in our local music charts.

1) Akon - Smack that.

Smack that, all on the floor
Smack that, give me some more
Smack that, till you get sore
Smack that, oooooo..

Think, for a moment what the word "that" refer to.

Line 3 says till you get sore, so "that" must be a body part. Even though the giver is sore, the singer seems to be enjoying it that he wants more of it as stated in line 2. Regress back to line 1, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that "that" refers to another person's genitals.

And the most "WTF" thing is, that son of a b is performing in Malaysia some time later! And nobody's protesting either!

WATAFAK??


2) Love, Sex, Magic - Ciara ft Justin Timberlake

Baby, show me, show me
What’s your favorite trick that you wanna use on me
And I’ll volunteer
And I’ll be flowing and going
Till clothing disappears, ain’t nothing but shoes on me
Oh, baby....

Need I say more?

Next we have:



3) Get low - Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz ft Yin Yang Twins

This song, in my opinion is by far the most f'ed up song there is, period.

Here's the chorus.

3,6,9 damn your fine move it so you can sock it to me one mo time
Get low, Get low [x6]
To the window (TO THE WINDOW), to the wall, (TO THE WALL)
To the sweat drop down my balls (MY BALLS)
To all these bitches crawl (CRAWL)
To all skit skit motherfucker (MOTHERFUCKER!) all skit skit got damn (GOT DAMN)
To all skit skit motherfucker (MOTHERFUCKER!) all skit skit got damn (GOT DAMN)

It has got swear words, obscenity, and degrades women too. In some lyrics site I found, it said "god damn" to. If it's true, that's blasphemy as well.

But the thing that I never understand is how can people like these kind of songs?

********************************


What I'm trying to say is, I don't care if the board is censoring stuff.

But to let the big ones get away while the minor one gets the blame?

Something's wrong in the censorship board.
