Blocking out the uncomfortable bits

Nice post, Nemo :)

The thing with all this censorship is that it is really just puritan US culture that is pushed in the faces of the rest of us. Not long ago I saw the film Ronia the Robber's Daughterwith my 7-year old daughter. It is based on the novel by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, and in the film there is a scene where all the robbers are snowbathing in the nude. In Scandinavia it is acceptable to have naked people in a children's film, so you can imagine that there has been some incidents where the censorship from Facebook and Apple has made people furious in our countries. Latest in Norway.

I wont even start on censorship of historic art!

I know, right! Or how prevalent nudism is on central European beaches. A friend from there once remarked about the interesting violence/sex paradox we have going on in the USA/Canada: you can hack someone to bits in the most violent way in Hollywood, but if you show those bits, boy, you've got some reckoning to do.
