It’s Called A "Bleep" Not A "Censor"
In true Hollywood form last night during the Emmy Awards, some Hollywood elites decided it was time to make some rude and crude comments. As a result, Emmy Award directors bleeped out a few comments made by some people. Included in the illustrious list; Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, comedian Ray Romano and Sally Field.
Sally Field was bleeped as she started cursing and swearing about the war in Iraq. Emmy producers panned to another shot as Heigl mouthed an expletive and Ray Romano was bleeped as he joked about his former co-star Patricia Heaton sleeping with former Fraiser star Kelsey Grammer in a new fall sitcom. Actually, they really weren’t bleeped, the sound just suddenly disappeared and everything went silent.
Now, the most amazing thing about this whole story is how some of the media outlets covered it. Many said the trio were censored. Give me a break. They weren’t censored, they were bleeped. There is a very big difference.
And people wonder why the media has such a bad rap.
Just my two cents,
