http://i66.tinypic.com/34y1r36.jpg Wow. The recent post on the Nigerian actress led me to do additional research, as in the interview it was disclosed that the ‘raw’ version shown in the U.S. was heavily edited for viewers in her homeland, Nigeria. It is well-known that African leaders of various countries are very strict about issues of immorality. I recalled a heated debate former POTUS Obama encountered when trying to gain support for the same-sex agenda on a visit to Kenya. The Kenyan leader was not having any part of this conversation. I remember thinking wow, as I tried to imagine a POTUS saying issues of immorality would not be accepted in the U.S. But, to stay on track, it was very interesting to learn that censorship against immoral television viewing is very strong; and, people are not allowed to view shows with vulgar influences. As cited by Senior Pastor Orubebe,"We live in a hypersensualized age and much from our westernized popular culture is rife with pornography and the sexualization of women". Ghanan-based artist Tagoe said, "It is just that in countries that are very religious, where churches and imams have a strong influence, they are noticed more." On reading Tagoe’s summary statement I furled my lip, raised my brow, and asked myself why the U.S. clergy is so mute on instances of cleaning up the over-infiltration of illicitness on the family screen? I know eventually I will get past the thoughts of bleep, bleep, bleep in my head; but, I’m reminded how ‘everything’ entertainment has a sexualized bent to it. I guess it wouldn’t resonate so strongly if the recent censorship-effect wasn’t so blatant. For years, I longed for a B version of shows, offering viewers an opportunity to watch an otherwise good show, without vile language and illicit scenes. This never happened; thus, my decision to make better use of my viewing time. To sum up this sort of rambling post: If we’re going to suffer censorship; I can only hope for the day when R-rated shows will have a separate channel expressly for shows edited to G and PG- rated versions. Furthermore, I can only pray that the U.S. is not on the precipice of what appears to be in-your-face, heavy-handed Communist-style censorship. If it is, I can only leave you smh....

Peace.

Amen. I really believe the entire world could use His help regarding issues of immorality being perpetuated as an influence for very malleable youth. Best regards. Peace.
