I was showing the Katie Vick to my girlfriend the other night who is new to wrestling (we were having a who can be the most offensive competition using youtube) and she noticed something that I had never noticed before it comes with the famous punchline of the "hillarious" "comedic" "skit". Basically Triple H having done the deed, in a moment of orgasmic bliss rips out Katie Vicks brains and flings them at the camera uttering the line "I can't believe I did it!! I SCREWED her brains out" at which my ladyfriend pointed out "shouldn't that be "I F-------d her brains out" Shes correct, so why did the WWE censor that?  I mean for crying out loud what was going on in their heads. Did they think "right we've got our necrophilia skit full of nudity and dry humping, mock canabalism, a skit that at its very essence is just one of our biggest stars pretending to have sex with a dead person, a dead teenage girl no less, but wait a minute we can't have the F word in there, NO sireeeee!!!! that might offend someone, how are children and the easilly offended going to pallett our necrophilia gag when its all ruined by a swear word, we've got to change this script" Discuss. |

I don't get your point.
You can't say f**** on TV. You can show tasteless skits that imply those words.

My point is how can one truly censor a skit about necrophilia, its like trying to make a family version of Emmanuel, in for a penny in for a pound basically.

No FCC fine for a silly skit about a tasteless topic with no cursing or nudity, HUGE FCC fine for dropping a scripted F-bomb. It may not make sense, but that's the parameters they're working with. |

I see your point weaselboy (or your girlfriend's point). The censors seem to think that depicting necrophilia is totally acceptable whereas the F word is not. I agree, it is ridiculous.

FCC? Not on Cable. It was more likely USA Network Standards and Practices. Look, it was the Katie Vick Angle. There was no clear thinking involved.

Maybe Triple H prefers the word screw to the word f***.

Not everybody swears gratuitously, no matter how rediculous/dark the situation is.

Maybe Triple H prefers the word screw to the word smurf. If he would have said word for word.... "I DID IT.... I smurfed her brains out" it would have saved the entire skit. Only way it could be better is if he was going "La La La La La LAA... La La La La Laaaa" while doing the deed. |

According to the John Bryne Plot Device, Raw never aired on TNN. There was never a show called the War Zone either. Also, Kane always looked like that. It's been 15 years on USA. |

OK, just watched this... thing... for the first time and... was anyone supposed to believe this was actually happening ? Did anyone potentially believe it was Kane under the mask ?? Did anyone believe it was a "stolen" footage ? With nice neat pictures, sound and color ? I mean, even if one considers kayfabe dead, they could at least PRETEND to try and make it realistic.
Also, what is up with the sudden censorship for stuff like the breast grab ? I mean, come on WWE, you know you' re gonna get major heat for crap like that anyway so at least have the balls to go to the end. And if you realize it' s shameful and tasteless, why do you do an angle like that in the first place ??

I mean for crying out loud what was going on in their heads. Did they think "right we've got our necrophilia skit full of nudity and dry humping, mock canabalism, a skit that at its very essence is just one of our biggest stars pretending to have sex with a dead person, a dead teenage girl no less, but wait a minute we can't have the F word in there, NO sireeeee!!!! that might offend someone, how are children and the easilly offended going to pallett our necrophilia gag when its all ruined by a swear word, we've got to change this script"
