Censors are sleeping on the job


OVER the past two months, I’ve come across three movies on Astro’s HBO channel where the dialogue was uncensored and the “F” and “C” four-letter words were used repeatedly. Why aren’t movies like Captain Fantastic, War Dogs and The Purge: Anarchy, which are laced with profanity, not censored?

No matter what our religion or belief, we’ve always felt safe when leaving our children in front of the TV knowing that they would not see or hear something we don’t want them to.
