Yesterday I watched True Lies on a US station, some three letter name like AMT or something, can't remember. It was 5 in the afternoon, so certain things were cut from the movie. Remember Harry's partner trying to cheer Harry up when he thinks his wife is cheating on him?
On TV yesterday he said: "Relax. Helen still loves you. You'll get used to it after a while."
In the original film he says: "Relax. Helen still loves you. She just wants this guy to bang her. It's nothing serious. You'll get used to it after a while."
Ok. They cut the banging-part. I can understand that. What I have a hard time understanding, and that's my point, is this: In the next commercial break the first commercial shown was for "Male Enhancement Medication". The commercial involved Santa Claus and "the gift that keeps on giving". Also several middle-aged very happy women in a party atmosphere.
See what I mean? We can't say "banging", but we can advertize large-cock-pills?
By the way, right after the big-dick-commercial they broadcasted a sleeping-pill commercial of the stupidest kind, "three active ingredients", "three pills in one". It took more time to list the possible adverse effects than to describe the product, it almost seemed like they were advertizing the undesired side effects. Ask your doctor!
And even more stupid after that: anti-depression-medication. "If you're still depressed after taking your usual anti-depression-pills, consider..." Again telling the list of side effects took more time than telling us about the product. (Incidentally the medication names include x's and y's, for research has shown that names including those letters sell better.)
What do we learn from this? The cut version of True Lies is rated 15 in the US. So the children are not allowed to hear about banging, but they are deliberately encouraged to learn about obscure penis-pills and other questionable drugs. No wonder the drug dealer next door goes out of business. (I saw one complaining last night, guess where? Right. On TV.) The school kids must indeed raid their parents' drug supply. Why wouldn't they? It's as-seen-on-TV and it's free. Sorry, dealerman. Can't beat that. Now go enlarge your dick.

The world is comically fucked.
And I used to be jealous of all the US people for being able to watch all those great films in original English.
So they get the language right, but fuck up all the rest... nice!
I hope they kept "I married Rambo" Loved it in the trailer. And even better: "Shua, hera's my invidashion!" (Boom) - Yeah, I saw a trailer for that, so I am old.
