OK, my first post again, only better written.

I just bought the first 3 Kid Sparkle Party Girls discs - Party Girls , The Anal Adventure and So You Want To Be A Pornstar . The audio on the first is fine, if a little badly edited, but on the other 2 it is so heavily censored and generally hacked about that it spoils the scenes. It is really annoying to buy hardcore material from the US, only to find that words that would be allowed on regular tv here have been blanked out or, just as bad, replaced with inappropriate dialogue from another part of the same scene.
The second disc also has a really obvious bit of editing to remove the word 'fist' with reference to a fist-shaped dildo and also a substituted piece of video to remove a visual reference as well. This is despite the fact that the dildo is not only shown but used in the first movie.

So, what's up with the censoring? Why are 'fuck ' or 'god ' not allowed but 'stick your big cock up my tight ass ' is fine? Also, is there any way to know if this has happened before I buy a disc as I would not buy a movie I knew to be censored this way? Apart from my other complaints, I find it personally insulting that as an adult, someone has decided for me that I can watch people having sex but if one of them were to say 'Oh my god!' while doing it that's too much for me and I need to be protected from it.

Now that my rant is over, and while I'm here, can someone with Boobsville Cabaret please tell me if the sound always goes completely out of sync with the picture at chapter 4, and I'm stuck with it, or if mine's defective and I can get a replacement.

Thanks.

This is actually common with some companies. I know a guy who used to work for the company in question and he said they had to cut some dialog. The rationale they used was that if a movie ever had to be defended in court, sensative jurors were likely to turn their heads. If 'objectionalbe' words were bleeped out, they were more likely not to get slammed. Not sure I believe that, but that's one explanation.

I'm sure it has to do with certain legal problems.

Thanks for the reply Rog.

That explanation would be OK if the first film was censored as well, but it was left untouched. Removing the language that can be found in mainstream movies and leaving in all the sexual material apart from 'fuck ' doesn't make any sense. Surely any sensitive jurors would have more of a problem with explicit reference to anal or facials than with language they could hear on Larry Sanders .

Just out of curiosity, and not knowing anything about the legal situation, wouldn't anything said come under freedom of speech?
