When Good Censors Go Bad

Maybe the error is more comical to me because I'm appreciative of the intent behind it. A novice censor bleeped out all references to God during in-flight versions of "The Queen."

You know, I've actually done something like that, too. My DVD player has a sound censor option that enables me to block out average swearing, religious profanities, etc. Awhile ago, a friend and I began watching a movie and thought there was a problem with the player--no sound was coming out. For some reason, the censor had caught innocuous words at the start and interpreted them as "desirous to be blocked"--and did so.

Thanks, y'all, for trying. It's appreciated. And funny!
