Crazy Censorship…unbelievable!

I am one of the people that stand with Censorship…because without it a lot of people’s feelings….might get hurt…but I just can’t find a reason to censor this!…:

1942: Tweety Forced to Wear Clothes
Tweety Bird first appears in “A Tale of Two Kitties.” Animator Bob Clampett originally draws him without feathers but the Hays Office censorship bureau thinks the plucked bird is just a little too naked. So Clampett covers Tweety’s titillating flesh with yellow plumage. (Note: Clampett doesn’t let this pass quietly, though. In the episode, a cat yells to his partner, “Give me the bird!” To which the other cat responds, “If the Hays Office would let me, I’d give him the bird, all right!”).

Bonus: The Turbulent Life of the TV Toilet


1957: Before it airs, CBS yanks the pilot episode of Leave It To Beaver because of its plot: Wally and the Beav mail-order a baby alligator and are forced to hide it in the tank of the family’s toilet. CBS finally decides the show can air, but only if all shots of the toilet seat are excised. The toilet tank is left unharmed, marking the first time a toilet (or half of one, anyway) appears on TV.


1971: A major breakthrough occurs as the toilet is finally allowed to perform its function. The first flush is heard, but not seen, on the first-season episode of All in the Family. TV’s first flusher is, of course, Archie Bunker.


1959: Advertisers Rewrite History
On the dramatic anthology series Playhouse 90, an episode titled “Judgment at Nuremberg” has all references to gas
chambers eliminated from its re-enactment of the Nazi trials. This is done at the behest of the show’s slightly sensitive sponsor, the American Gas Association.


1973: Jack Paar’s censors are proven right about the toilet’s power over The Tonight Show audience. In the era of gasoline shortages, Johnny Carson jokes about an imminent shortage of toilet paper. Across the country, panicked viewers go on a hoarding spree, emptying store shelves and forcing Carson to publicly apologize the next night.


1952: Lucy Gets Knocked Up
Despite Lucille Ball’s pregnancy during an entire season of I Love Lucy, the actual word “pregnant” isn’t allowed on air. Instead, the show uses phrases that seem equally informative but (somehow) less fraught with sin, such as “with child,” “having a baby,” and “expecting.”


1956: Elvis’ Pelvis Shoved Off Screen
Elvis’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show is seen by 60 million people (about 80 percent of America’s TV owners at the time). His hips, however, aren’t so lucky. After his cover of Little Richard’s “Ready Teddy” – complete with trademark gyrations – the camera switches to a close-up of his face as not to over-stimulate the American public. By the time he appears on the show for the third time (in January 1957), he’s only shown from the waist up.

…I am just too speechless to talk about this….I will just leave you to decide by yourself…this article was by Ian Lendler from Mental Floss Magazine :) ….hope you guys enjoyed it!!.

A+ Clips : When American Idol goes bad

My uncle used to tell me “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, and that’s what people need to understand, if you have a bad voice, and you just know it, why bothering people by singing!!…are you thinking that if you sing in front of people that “fix” your bad voice, well the answer is NO, your voice ain’t broke, its just ugly!..I have been saying that for years, since the beginning of American Idol I just knew it, the pain will come along the great singing, I loved Chris Daughtry, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood,.., etc, because they have really great voices, but you are not doing me any good when you have a sucky but funny voice….just like those guys….I still laugh till now from watching those!

[1] William Hung Singing “She Bangs”….dude…she is not banging at all with a voice of your.

[2] Kenneth Maccarone Singing “Believe”…..I don’t have to say that…but…Cher is dieing slowly by hearing this song!

[3]  Rhonetta singing….whatever she wants to sing…!

[4] Crystal..a.k.a. Paris Hilton!….singing…”And I’m telling you”….yes I’m telling you to GO HOME!

[5] Danny Parker…singing a song that I don’t want to hear again..because he is just Crazy :P …I’m sorry haha

congratulations guys!…..all of you are on the TOP of my losers list :) .

Music : Jordin Sparks

what I love about the artists that I review, that none of them got caught doing anything wrong yet :) , that’s good, I hate it when one of my favorite artists get caught doing wrong stuff, dude, you can do whatever you want to do, but just don’t let me find out about it :) , one of my favorite new artists is Jordin Sparks, her song Just like a tattoo is already a tattoo on my heart for being such a great song, she has a great sound, wonderful body language that just makes you want to jump around the place, here is a quick background info on Jordin, (born December 22, 1989)  is an American pop singer. On May 23, 2007, she was declared the winner of the sixth season of the reality television show American Idol. At 17, Sparks is the youngest winner in American Idol history, she is a fine example and a great role model for teenagers, I consider her as one of those artists that just make you wake up knowing that there is a fine art going on beside the stupidity of some other artists, keep it going Jordin, you are a great singer, one last thing, the remix of Just like a tattoo is not good at all, it needed more time spent in doing it, it sounds like it was totally done really fast and without working long enough for it to be good, and thanks guys for reading this, check this clip out ♥  .

here is a free song for you :)

People,Stuff that matters and an A+ Clip :

For teenagers, like me and you, we face some stuff that we consider even more hurtful than Global Warming, Love is one of them, I just don’t mean love as in relationships, but loving your family, your grandmother, or even your pet, some people say that you have to get hurt to love more, or loving is all about getting hurt and I truly agree with them, sometimes nobody actually love someone until that someone gets hurt, or they are just lost, and when I was scanning around my collection of songs, I found one that really touched my heart and made me cry….well….almost since I am a guy, and guys have issues with telling people that they cry so yeah :) , that song was by a really loved singer, that I really loved and still loving Luther vandross, he was truly one of the singers that I have ever been touched by, and trust me, I am a hard guy to be touched :) , I dedicate that song Dance with my father to my father, and all the fathers in the world, because seriously, without them, we wouldn’t have been here “wanna know how read a book”, and that doesn’t take out the mothers rule in raising us, but still, if you are having troubles with your family, try to straighten it up, because they are not there forever.

the clip was sang by Tamyra Gray on Boston Public the TV show, as a tribute to Luther Vandross who died on July 1, 2005 at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey at the age of 54, His funeral was in New York City on July 8, 2005. After two days of viewing, Vandross was laid to rest in George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey…great artist..who is till now missed by alot of people, thanks for reading…. your comments are always welcome.

Music : Lil Mama

Don’t you love the smell of new top-hit singers in the morning, I DO, Lil Mama is truly “the voice of the young people”, Niatia Jessica Kirkland was born on the 4th of October, 1989, so she is young, beautiful, and can even sing, she was featured in Remixes of the most popular songs like “Umbrella” with Rihanna,”Girlfriend” with Avril Lavigne, and”Gimme More” with Britney Spears, her famous songs are “Lip Gloss” and “G-Slide”, She was nominated for “The monster song of the year” award for her song “Lip Gloss” at the 2007 MTV music awards, but the award went to Rihanna for song “Umbrella”, oh, and before I finish up, she was on the “beautiful girls” video clip by Sean Kingston, my opinion is that she is going to make a difference in the music industry, she and the other new singers like Kingston, well, finally, I began to be bored from the old voices anyways :) .

Quotes : Madonna said, and I said :) :

That quote was said by Madonna on a radio show when she was asked about how she’s inspiring people with her music, I’m not that big of a Madonna fan,but she got that right, most of the people that called for peace and justice were often killed, its like they got a small “anti-peace” mafia, everyday they send one of their people to kill peace guy, maybe sadly enough people get rich from behind those operations, and yes, now I finally understand why Britney, Lindsey, and Paris Hilton are acting like this, they are trying to make us believe that they don’t care, but they do :) …NOT….that’s life you got people that care about poverty and the world like Al Gore, and you got people that care about their nail polish, well, take care guys, and share your comments :) .

Music : Sean Kingston

We have to face the fact that our music and movie worlds are mainly perfect bodies and little brain activities, but there are some that just stand in the face of….well…there is no face but they are just funny, talented, and great, people such as Queen Latifa, Jack Black, and one of the most memorable actors John Candy, and that just give a lot of people hope to get in the industry of music and cinema, back to our subject, Sean Kingston is pretty much a young mini me “not that mini” of Bob Marley, with some of Shaggy’s new reggae, he is famous for his songs “Beautiful Girls” and “Me Love”, people love him, girls dig him, he moved from Kingston, Jamaica at the age of 6, but still Sean, or let’s say “Ki Sean Anderson” loves his hometown, a quick review on him is included in two words “Be New”, that means you just need to start trying to sing new genres like hip hop and rap, your video clips are awesome, keep it up man, and yeah, wear smaller jewelery or your head will fall :) .

Music : Colbie Caillat

Picture from NastyMcT

It started at my toes and it surely made me crinkle my nose…Colbie Caillat  is one of the most talented artists in the music industry now…we can use a good vocal singer in a world filled with country-metal-rock type of music world, but still I didn’t say she is one of the best but pretty much a favorite for now :) … Colbie just makes you feel like dancing under the moon light leaving our bad long rainy day full of troubles and problems behind… even though her new album’s name “Mistletoe” is a corny name for a Christmas album……since there are like thousands of albums named Mistletoe :) …. but she is truly an amazing artist with a wonderful sound…loved her Coco album…it was fresh and straight out of the oven :) …can’t wait for her next hit!!…I’m sure she’s going to surprise us..

P.S : here some free music for you all…right click and “save target as” :)
