No... I have no desire to have anything banned from TV, i'm on the same page as you in regards to the fact that I have a degree of control...
In fact i like the fact that you can put anything on the tube, in an earlier day or if things were censored, you'd never know who you could respect
or not because they never would be given enough proverbial rope to hang themselves by... If it's all fake and controlled and everyone wears masks
your never going to be able to tell the good from the bad...
Evil concealed is imho more dangerous than evil being allowed to exist, everything after all has a purpose
This is all about CONTEXT my friend where and when things are placed...
Censor? Never...
But with a virtually unlimited Internet and 100 channels of cable and Satellite Radio
I do believe in marking what things are and having places for things...
It's the "screaming fire in a crowded movie theater vs free speech" debate in many way.
I want places where things can be avoided, I believe there Should be a specific domain extension for pornography for example, so long as you can get
access there is no need to unwittingly expose others...
It's an interesting thing.... we are at odds with the rest of the world on many topics these days and we will here repeated over and over again from
our enemies and even friends several things about us...
Too Materialistic
Egotistical
lacking in spirituality
Rude
Immature as a culture lacking tradition
and you know what... everyone else is right, this is an example of it...
My lash out has little to do with any kind of censorship but rather grasping the pendulum when it swings too far in a given direction...
To me... this Vid as a Celebration of the New Year is an example of everything said about us...
It's all about Money and materialism from it even being able to bought into the spot to what the song preaches, It's obnoxious for a holiday, rude
ego maniacal, lacking any kind of positive message and it's placement was rude...
I have been talking about this a lot...how EXTREME we actually are...
Take for example Gay rights...
I absolutely believe in gay rights including marriage... I do NOT believe that needs to extend to wearing daisy dukes in a super market with part of
your crack showing a wig and make up and being obnoxiously loud about it...
There isn't a gene that requires you to prance lisp and go half naked and cross dress in a school zone lol... if nothing else and not to use kids as
a weapon of debate, it's just being very over bearing to others...
freedom of expression is a right...
But there is a time and a place and there is respect for others and Politeness...
another word you hear about our culture regularly...
We are not polite
Sometimes and some channels and some places can be kept nuteral and I don't think it's an imposition on anyone's freedoms...
I Love sex... I don't think it needs to be full nudity on Cbs with 1000 channels...
And here's the deal... I'm a pretty fringe guy, i'm saying this because on every level i'm a bit out there and have tastes that are outside the
norm sometime...
I really like the horror genre... I hope I get to make a small movie again for video release in the next year or two (yes I said again)
I don't want it shown (some of what i'm working on) main stream... I'm not obsessed with Hollywood or a theatrical release...
I'm not even sure what I would do with more than a couple Million Bucks...
Ambition is one thing, buying the New Years spot for a semi occult themed vid... that's just Over kill on ambition IMHO, tasteless...
Allot of this is just about being grotesque as a society and nothing being sacred anymore...
Like I said I hope to make a Vid or two myself again soon... and that's it, I enjoy it, even direct to video I can make enough of of one video to pay
off a nice house... Right NOW that sounds glorious, a chance maybe to do something I Love and entertain an audience that WANTS to watch and lord
knows... make more than I need...
A person should be happy about that and enjoy the success...
If I ever have the success and drift into... signing a deal that plays that same flick which admittedly what i have in mind is pretty raw... and allow
it to be shown after sponge bob the movie at 4:45...to make extra Millions...
I seriously hope someone loves me enough to smack my face at that point and time... remind me of why I do it in the first place...
As example...an American kaiju film I have in mind...
No actual redeeming value what so ever lol
I am happy to admit that, beyond effects.... it's got zip to offer on an intellectual level or spiritual level... it's like the Jay Z vid... it's a
dopamine rush,.... a shot of adrenaline, nothing more...
IF I ever get my act together and get it done...
like I said... I hope some one cares enough about me to put me in check, and if not... maybe in these cases we do need to put greed and ego in
check...
I personally now... wish what i do to be in it's proper place and just hope someone restrains me If I loose track of that like Jay Z certainly
has...
who I am now prior to that kind of possibility of Ego... says, I don't want to Pimp 500.00 sneakers to kids in the hood if I make it...
I am not rich ATM and mostly... I'm happier than when I have been relatively rich...
That's more of the message i'd want to be giving out and and to hear right now on New Years Eve...
One Ho ...lol Maybe 2 and a Few million dollars is plenty for anyone rofl
No one needs to be pimpin Music Vids in place of holiday spirit...
Happy New Years "some one give me back my money please" Guys guesstimate is over 150 Million and his holiday message is bullets doublin his
money...
You can't even spend what you got pal.... lol, someone needs to remind him where he came from or maybe seek help to deal with the trauma...
What do cars and shoes even mean to a guy like that anymore...
Nuthin lol... Get up there and throw 20 Million into the crowd so kids don't have to open fire to pay their rent...
Like Jay Z says...
He's a BOSS a PIMP
Keep him off the holiday for Christ sake...he's an admitted pimp...
that's not censorship... That's kicking the 350 Lb guy off the all you can eat buffet when he reaches his 14th plate
