Wal-Mart Sued Over Evanescence CD Lyrics

eternal vow · 12-11-2004, 07:14 AM

i dont mean to be a pain in the ass but americans always seem to have a problem with the odd sware. im not pointing this to american evboarders. im pointing this to people who think to say the odd 'fuck' or 'shit' is one of the baddest things in the world. e.g my mates just been to florida and when he was watching mtv and gwen stefani comes on they even had to block out hoe. over here this isnt a big deal and the music channels allow it. i dont even think there are versions of ABH that blocks out the swaring over here. but im afraid this is also happening over here and more plans are going on over here to ban it. dont mean to offend anyone who does think swaring is a big bad thing.

Some Americans I hear do sue over the most dumb ass things. I once heard someone sued a company for not having "this may contain traces of nuts" on a packet off nuts, its just stupid. They sue over the most stupid things....

Well, the worst part about it is that it's inconsistent.

You just made an example of Gwen Stefani's video, which on MTV does censor out ho.

However, if you turn on the radio, you can go on a station or two and find it uncensored anyway.

That's inconsistency.

It was the awfulest thing evar!

Ridiculous. You can say "fuck" twice in a movie and get away with a PG-13 rating. I don't see why this should be any different.

Let's list all the bad words Evanescence uses, while we're at it:
"fuck" - Thoughtless
"bullshit" - Zero
"rape/raping" - Haunted, Thoughtless
"whore" - Farther Away

Feel free to add to the list.

Oi, I'm irritated. What a petty thing to care about. It's the parents responsibility anyway, if they care that much, but that kid's going to grow up messed up from being so overprotected. *imagines kid going to college*

yeah, not to mention the swears she uses on here(in the prescence of 13 year olds, btw) and the swears she uses on the DVD(ass, bitch, fuck, shit, fuckers,)
I think we've come to the conclusion that Amy is an evil person, and she shall go to hell!!!111
seriously though, I would be so fucking mad at my parents if they did this!

Wait wait WAIT.

The article that Nat posted said this:

Quote:

They listened to a sampling online and checked for a parental advisory sticker on the case. They said it appeared to be a clean edit, until they played it and heard profanity, including the "f" word and lyrics about raping and killing.

I believe they're talking about the "sampling" on Walmart's website. Go to walmart.com. Listen to the clip of Thoughtless. They edited out "fuck" in the clip.

Sorry to say but the parents are right.

Wow, that is really dumb. Especially how that girl's parents got so worked up about it. I mean, I'm 13, I scream Thoughtless at the top of my lungs when i get bored, and it's on my yahoo signature, and it's often my stat, etc.... My parents don't care, they don't think words can be bad unless they're said to intentionally hurt someone. Oh, watch out Wal-mart! Scary word! Fuck fuck.... fuck fuck fuck!

They don't even censor that song at my school dance.

It skips at random unless, Pushing, See, and Come on are considered bad words too.

Yes, but I find it very funny how it doesn't skip at all in the other clips.

It's very deceiving, imo.
