Too funny. :smile:

I was just thinking about this introspective piece by Cookie Monster I read the other day:
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2006/5/5bryan.html

Me know. Me have problem.

Me love cookies. Me tend to get out of control when me see cookies. Me know it not natural to react so strongly to cookies, but me have weakness. Me know me do wrong. Me know it isn't normal. Me see disapproving looks. Me see stares. Me hurt inside.

When me get back to apartment, after cookie binge, me can't stand looking in mirror—fur matted with chocolate-chip smears and infested with crumbs. Me try but me never able to wash all of them out. Me don't think me is monster. Me just furry blue person who love cookies too much. Me no ask for it. Me just born that way...

I've seen three or four other 'versions' of bleeping 'not-bad' words --I think SNL did one back in the seventies
 
The lyrics to Rolling Stones Satisfaction were censored, they beeped 'make' in "And I'm tryin' to make some girl" - which made it sound much worse.
 
I *bleep*ing *bleep* that video---It should be *bleep* *bleep*ed on all websites!
 
More unnecessary censorship:

omg I'm literally crying!

"and when I'm alone I *&^* myself" :smile::smile:

o man. I've always thought bleeping words on TV's about the most inexplicably redundant practice. Watching "un-bleeped" Southpark is a perfect example; it actually sounds much "dirtier" when it's bleeped than when it's not. I don't even notice when they swear in the un-bleeped episodes.

If people wonder why I'm on here so much and don't post often its because I count the members on the main screen whenever I see it. Got to make sure the computer gets it right. :smile:

Am I the only one who enjoyed that Jewish music playing in the Count song? I assume it was Jewish type music, at least. I like that kind of stuff.
 
  • #25
does anyone else think the only reason the bleeps make it sound like he's saying **** is because that's what they were invented to block out so now we just associate them them with **** regardless of what they sound like.
 
  • #26
no, its because he says things like, when I am alone I **** myself, and once i **** i can't stop, faster and faster!
