I read through this entire post and I gotta say, it's pretty amusing...
now, I don't care if Snoop is on the muppets or not...although the lack of electric mayhem saddens me...I've never heard a song of his in my life, and although I don't approve of some of his choies, I'm a foirm believer in not judging others...
anyhw, what I DON'T beleive in is watchdog groups. I beleive that I should have the right to choose for myself and any minors in my charge what is appropriate to watch. Censorship is not a good thing. Case in point, if "watchdog" groups had been successful 2000 years ago, we wouldn't have a Christian bible today (of course,back then, instead of letter writing, it was lion feeding time). You sure wouldn't have shakespeare either. Not to mention say, Anne Frank's Diary...there's a lot of really good material out there that have been targetted by watchdog groups of the past....
Oh, about sex and violence in media. Do you let your kids read the bible? Cause there's some pretty heavy pornograpic material in there. Anyone read song of solomon? (especially if you have the correct translation, where the word "navel" or "bellybutton" is more accurately translated as "******"). Now, you're going to say that Solomon was speaking about his wife, but the guy had about 40 of them. This was the wisest man ever? what about King David, a confessed murderer and adulterer? Lot, the only man worth saving in soddom and gommorah offered his two virgin daughters up to be raped by a viscious mob and was rewarded by God for it! Makes Judas betrayal seem like kid stuff....Jacob, founder of the land of israel, lied and tricked his father and brother, and showed great pride towards God...Moses was a drunkard, as was Abraham, who also cheated on his wife. I forget who it was who got drunk and allowed himself to be seduced by both his daughters? The disciples of Jesus were all deadbeat dads....
Anyhow, that's probably enough to get my point across. All of the above mentioned biblical examples were redeemable. Why isn't Snoop? And why should e be censored when these stories aren't? It's a double standard....
But then, that's why, even though I'm christian, I refuse to join a church...the entire faith is very hypocritical....
but enough about that...I have to go think of more muppety stuff
