I wouldn't go that far, Jinx. I'm okay with some suggestive content, but not if it goes too far, like with Miley Cyrus and several others. Let me ask you this: what kind of raunchy content would you consider "going too far"?Originally Posted by Jinx
I have a solution for you: just move to the Middle East!
Also, I noticed on this board that whenever you post the F or S words, it is replaced with "smurf" and "trout," respectively, and that those are the only two words that are censored on this forum. Why is that, and what's up with that? "Smurf" is derived from The Smurfs, a cartoon in which they sometimes substitute the word "smurf" for certain words, and here, you use it to substitute for the F-bomb. Also, for your information, a trout is a fish:

I also hear that in Canada and Australia, the S word is considered a mild swear word, yet here in America, the only two words that are consistently completely censored at all times are this and the F word; they sometimes let other somewhat severe words slip through. The words "damn," "hell," "ass," and "bastard" (the seven-letter B word in which the second letter is an A) all seem to be mild swear words here in America, at least according to my experience. And in some PG-13-rated movies, the S word is uncensored, even when it is used multiple times (some movie occasionally also have a single uncensored F word as well).
Also, just because an album does not have the Parental Advisory sticker on it does not necessarily mean that it is suitable for family listening; it may still have lots of sex, drugs, and alcohol. That is why I recommend having a content rating system for lyrics and music videos akin to movies and video games. Content rating systems function as guidelines to inform us about the content and its suitability for family viewing or listening.
With that said, how far would you think is "going too far" in pushing the envelopes for explicit content in music?
