    20 KB Bowdlerized Movies Anonymous of College Park,MD 01/31/10(Sun)20:58:09 No.7338722  
    I've posted this topic on /tv/ but they did not care.

    I came back from my anime society meeting to see one of my dormmates watching 1408 on TNT. I knew it's a bowdlerized version because 1) It's in pan-and-scam, 2) Cut for time to cram more adverts every 15 minutes, 3) Edited for content despite most people who watch TNT are 18-34.

    I asked him a few questions, here are his responses:
    >I don't mind
    >I don't mind more breaks
    >More power to them.

    He basically did not care.

    Why are American basic cable channels still bowdlerize movies to 4:3, edit content to be suitable for grandmothers, and to cram more advertisements than they actually need? They might as well scream to the viewer that you're not watching the real thing and get the dvd version and be done with it.

    stopped reading after you stooped to a juvenile pun to express your dislike.

    pan-and-scam is one of the stupidest fucking things i've ever seen someone write on this imageboard, and i've been here since 2003.

    also fuck off tripfag.

    If it's not a subscription channel, it's because they get their money from advertisers, not viewers; so they try to pander to those advertisers. This includes making things inoffensive and finding more time for ads.

    If you've bothered to google "pam-and-scam" it equals
    4:3 (Fullscreen).

    >stooped to a juvenile pun to express your dislike

    What juvenile pun?

    >also fuck off tripfag.

    Are you blind? I don't even use a tripcode. YOU need to fuck off.

    I'm not OP but I failed to understand your post.

    >>7338722

    >Lack of tripcode
    >Lack of pun

    Is the pan-and-scam thing an American pun I do not understand?

    Sage regardless.

    Yes but in Britian they don't do that.

    They still get their money from advertisers but they don't edit down their movies, and they have a actual watershed.This also apply to the channels on Sky.

    Let me get this straight.. you mean societal norms may vary slightly from one nation to another, especially ones separated by an ocean?

    Man, you are insane. Nuts. Bonkers.

    Also, pan-and-scam is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen on this board. Shitty.

    That's not his point. It's that american media is fucked up by corporates and conservatives.

    A few years ago, a couple of directors filed a case against a network here in Sweden, where they claimed that the network having commercial interruptions in their films was a violation of intellectual property rights. They won, and from now on prior consent from the proprietor is required for commercial interruptions in artistic works.

    Don't reply then, dipshit. Or ask then, Or fucking google asswipe

    You're fucking retarded. Go back to rule34.paheal so you can wank off to Calvin and Hobbes asswipe.

    It's your choice to watch TV, and specifically to watch that network. I don't see what you're pissed off about.

    I still don't see what in particular your problem is. There have always been commercials, especially on network TV. What's the big deal?
