About: Bleep, Dammit!   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

An attempt at censorship that either doesn't hide anything, or is so inconsistently executed, that you wonder why the censors even bothered. Maybe the Censor Box is too small, so you can clearly see what's behind it. Maybe a word is bleeped out in some scenes, but not others in the same episode. Maybe they cut the swearing out, but left in that scene with the nudists and the bacon grease... At any rate, it's clear that the attempt at censoring the work has just been rendered pointless. Examples

Could be used simply to get past censorship laws, as a half-hearted way of saying "look, we tried, honest." Or it could just be that the people in charge of the censorship were putting in a half-asterisked effort that day. Or maybe they're making fun of bleep noises. Inconsistency in the censorship is also likely to occur in shows that make heavy use of Censor Decoys. Examples
