Why do American artists have to make sure they're going by all other country standards? Also, doesn't this practice get super messy when you factor in what China sees as offensive? I get it for Beyonce to remove ot to have more appeal still tho The biggest Australian kids show is constantly censored in the US because of little things like this.

threetimes 08/01/22 9:14:21 PM #114:	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6isXNVdguI8 Context matters. Ian Dury suffered from polio and wrote this song. It was never played on the BBC at the time but In 2012 it was sung as a celebration at the Paralympics. Ians own words about the song: Id written this in the Year Of The Disabled. I was going to start a band called Spastic & The Autistics, because the word spastic is a swear word. There was that girl group Bananarama who used to talk about Spazz Dancing. Their ignorance is their own affair. I wanted to do something for the Year Of The Disabled so I wrote Spasticus Autisticus knowing it would be unacceptable to the BBC. They banned it as they did Wake Up And Make Love To Me and Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll. They actually dont BAN it. They just dont play it. Apparently you could only play it after dark, with written permission. I did about 140 interviews related to the song that year. It was a war cry for my brothers and sisters who are disabled. Only a spastic could understand that. Its not describing a condition. Its just being spirited --- The bells haven't stopped ringing yet. <cite>threetimes posted [p:967002320] in Beyonce re...
