Censorship and the Truth

What do we really know, that is a powerful statement since we are now in a world were people only need good photographs to build non existent castles in the countryside or giant sharks attacking helicopters. Those examples are silly but the lecture proved one thing that most people should know and that is people tell lies. The examples they gave were such as mashing two photographs together to make it look like a soldier is threatening a iraq man with a child which is a very good mechanism to create fear or uncertainty.

The Censorship for news definitely seem to come from a few very manipulative people who know what they are doing for example the Gulf a Tonkin incident which kick started the vietnam war was twisted to benefit the president/Government now this may be a very cynical view but i know that when i am not supposed to know something i won't find out.

Now Censorship this is a funny topic for me since some of the arguments or how they are changed to make it fine just make me laugh, like if a woman has a flake in her mouth someone thinks of a sex act all i can say is jesus christ are you that dirty minded it's a flaming chocolate bar for god sake. but the line i start to draw is when it comes to kids naked now myself i don't find it wrong since if you have a kid you see that sort of thing hell it is natural but using it to shock or advertise something is bad in my opinion. Saying all that though i think the thing about kids in adverts i think you need to be smart about it and unfortunately the smart ones sometimes get picked out rather the non tasteful ones.

Now kid pictures are fine i think if they are the whole family album thing but for the love of god don't put kid pics on facebook when naked or do it in a gallery that is just wanting a reaction or worse some sick bugger who will look for those pics, it just isn't right but one thing that was a very good point with the lecture was why is a painted kid with his Colonel out fine but a picture with a trouser snake isn't well i guess 'it's Art'. Now unfortunately this came as more of a rant but when i look into such pieces as Venus, Cupid, Folly & Time i do see art funny really i guess it's the theory of what is real since you know it is a painting it for some reason doesn't feel real but a photo in a weird way feels like it is real now this i my thought but it may not be this that causes the controversies that always appear but all i know is people need to be a bit smarter with such things and what can be shown be it news of death or showing nude pictures.
