Banned commercials!

Ever go on Youtube and type in "banned commercials" they may not all be American, the reason i say that is because a couple of them were in french, but still it is a way to take some time out of your day if you have nothing else better to do.

Lots of these are hilarious and i guess t.v. figured they were to much. Although it's kind of hypocritical, all of a sudden somethings to obscene to be on t.v. even though it's been on their for the longest time. It just makes no sense to me.

I think personally the rating system is a load of crap. If the people who actually rated the films, movies, music, and games actually had a life and weren't so stiff if you know what I mean. Their decisions wouldn't be so ridiculous.

Heres what kind of ticks me off though. You go into a store pickup a game that's animated, mind you it's probably made for kids. But no you have to pull out your i.d. to make sure you're of age. Who came up with this idea seriously ? It's not like it's drugs or something, and I don't think that if you play a game, kill somebody in the game. You're just gonna pop-up with the idea "oh i'm gonna kill someone" that's honestly the dumbest thing i've ever heard of in my life.

For all the kids out there that want to play a game without showing their i.d. you can go online and play Americas Army, among many other games where you can "kill" other players. That's what I think is stupid. You can go online, download tons of games for FREE and you can kill all day long, no rating system on that thank god. Anyways my point is you can download games for free kill all day long even if your 12, go to a store and they want to see your i.d. oh and you have to pay?

Free games are better although they do get boring, as do all games. The downloads can be sometimes huge depending on what you want to play ranging from 1 megabyte to 4 gigabytes. They could be more or less who knows. If your sitting on a t3 connection then your set, if you're on dial-up however you might as well walk down to the store, buy a game, play it for a month or two, go on a weeks vacation and your download might be done.

I don't know how long it would take someone to download 4 gigs on a dial-up connection but i know just to check my e-mail on dial-up it took me 15 minutes. I went and watched t.v., ate, and read a magazine and it still wasn't done. Obviously i'm just knocking the whole dial-up idea but you get the point of course.

Tell me what you think, although this was a mixed blog post of everything, post your commentary, suggestions, and what you think on how our wonderful government rates what we watch and play!!!
