This is not news. Back in the 60s or 70s, when anyone
with a minimum moral sense in br was against the
dictatorship, one humorist [Millor Fernandes] once said
that he supported some censorship that was imposed to
some TV programs. In his words [something is lost in
the translation]: "I never thought I would support
Censorship, but TV can be worse than it".
I try to give a liberal education to my daughters, but
TV is horrible. They seem to pick up the worst of all
possible things and make it look like a normal and healthy
stuff.
And I also censor some kind of music, some of them
based on aesthetical principles ["please don't play
this stuff when I am around because I hate it"], some
of them based on moral ground ["this is song made by
drug dealers"].
Not to mention that I censor everything that is not
in metric units...
