They do it here, and I find it hard to believe they don't do it there. You are telling me if something is showing at 5pm on a news show and someone swears (and it is pre-recorded) they don't bleep it out? It is the exact thing, except they are attempting to manage it live. There is nothing particularly extreme about it. Most countries have codes of standards that don't allow such things as nipple slips, and swearing on TV before a set time, or without a set warning attached. How do you suggest they manage these things? Not have live TV? Ignore the standards which have been developed because it is live TV? Perhaps there is some other solution, but as I see it the solution in the US certainly isn't that extreme. Do you think it is wrong to censor these things from TV at certain times?

You know I can't elaborate on exact cases I will be honest with you. But the guy I partner with in business is from Norway and he has filled me on alot of the laws. I would hunt them down for you from what he had showed me, but I do not speak your language so it would be difficult for me. But you surely are aware of the anti-racism/etc laws in your country, they are quite similar to those in Australia I believe. Anything that can essentially be found 'offensive' to these groups (including religions such as Islam) about their beliefs is essentially illegal. A number of Christian organisations where infilitrated by muslims over here and they attended their meetings (the groups weren't extreme) and some of the stuff they preeched offended these people so now they are facing charges. It is fucking ridiculous.
