In Praise of Network TV Censors

The Network TV Censor is an underappreciated person.

We roll our eyes and laugh at the results of their work--such as, for example, when the closed captions say "monkey's mother" instead of a certain curse word in GoodFellas. Or when nude scenes get cut out of famous movies, leaving them with a choppy feel that often spoils the pacing and atmosphere.

But the Network TV Censor is the only thing standing between innocent viewers and the appearance of unholy blights like Piranha 3D that make Syfy Original Movies look like Citizen Kane by comparison.

Thank you, Network TV Censor, for keeping the likes of Piranha 3D off our TVs!

(I will post a more detailed review of Piranha 3D when I've recovered mentally.)
