Hey what’s the deal? I’m watching The News Hour With Jim Lehrer, hosted by a woman who is not Jim Lehrer, and they have a report from Burma which is also Myanmar, and the non-Jim lady warns it may contain ‘images of a disturbing nature’ and suddenly I get a blue screen with the words VIDEO FOR THIS REPORT RESTRICTED while the audio continues to run in the background. SBS, the network airing it here, apparently, found it too disturbing for Aussies.
What the hell was in it, that is ok to air in America but not Australia? Australia where nudity and swearing in the media is common and R-rated films are shown un-cut on TV. Australia where there is an ad depicting two gentlemen playing a piano duet with their erect penises (peni?)...
And then there's America where I’m not sure if they’re allowed to say ‘shit’ yet on network TV, where Janet Jackson’s nipple threatened to bring about the end of days, where people go to the bathroom or washroom but never the toilet. What the hell could be ok for America but not Australia?

WHAT WAS IT?
I must know. Ok, what are the facts:
1) The only people who don’t want bad pictures coming out of Burma is the government of Burma.
2) Australia is sort of close to Burma geographically, kind of, if you sort of tilt your head.
3) Slugs have two different types of slime – one for clinging to things, and one for traveling.
No. I still can’t work it out.

Classic
i never knew that about slugs... politicians, sure, but slugs?
The video was probably full of slime.
Also, it's probably on You Tube.
