It's funny (not hah hah, but you know what i mean), that you don't really notice censorship in many movies.
Ok lets take E.T. Speilberg changed the fact that the feds had guns in their hands (the famous group flying scene) and had walkie-talkies digitaly placed in their hands. I didn't agree with the move because in all actuallity, it didn't bother me that they had guns in their hands. Speilberg did, so he changed it. It's his movie he can do what he wants. But atleast I get the choice if i want to watch it "enhanced" or not.
Another movie I know had more scenes, that where edited for my wittle head was "The Lawnmower Man". The scenes that whee cut where most of the "Cybo-Man" scenes. One in particular was when the monkey was shot. I know it probably upset some people, but the realism about it is.. it wasn't a real monkey and something like that could never happen.

..Just a few thoughts on my experience.
