Subject: Is it censorship though? (m)

I don't know, I wouldn't put this as a censorship type thing. Maybe a common sense thing? If the progam is geared towards young children and is proclaimed "innocent-non-thinking-fun" such as the wiggles are....should they throw this sort of thing onto the end without any sort of warning at all? Which would then turn the video into a "thinking" video because a parent would then possibly have to answer questions geared around tragedy (the guy did die and it is specifically stated that he died)...I just can't remember if they show the towers or what the picture is and I can't look at it right now.

But in any case, I do agree that censorship in general is a bad thing....just don't buy it, turn it off, or whatever has always been my stance. But currently, I am wondering about this children's video that has no warning, etc....and if it is just plain appropriate or not....just trying to work through it and figure it out I guess.
