you can't do that on television ... in Thailand ....

Courtesy of the hard-working censorship folks:

1. Actually smoke on-screen. Culprits will have their faces obscured by the Fuzzy Dot. However, it is acceptable to hold items for smoking, as long one is merely just holding them.
2. Point a gun (or a water gun) at someone. Again, one can hold one, but if it's directed at someone, the Fuzzy Dot will get you.
3. Kiss a man, if one is also a man. Chris and I enjoyed the Gay Witch Hunt episode of The Office last week, and that excruciating smooch between Michael and Oscar was edited right out of the show.  That being said, I'm still tickled that season three is on tv here right now - I don't have to buy the DVDs to catch up!

Those are very interesting. Here, we have a public smoking ban and so at some dinner theatre place, they got in trouble for having someone smoking in the play. They had to switch it out for something else that wasn't actually a cigarette. Seriously. People have too much time on their hands to complain about these things. Like my neighbor who was trying to bust me (digital camera in hand) for "dog at large." Seriously. She came out of her house and accross the street to the park to bust us.
