Crimes against humanity


And so to Texarkana for a hearing this morning. I popped into a Walmart to grab a couple of CDs for the drive back up to Little Rock (devil of a place to get to, Texarkana). Pickings were slim (other than Toby Keith and Hannah Montana, of course), so I grabbed the first Amy Winehouse CD, which I have never heard. Only after I hit the road did I see it is the "edited" (i.e. censored) version. I didn't even know such things existed. #@%$ers.

We had the exact same thing happen to us with Ryan Adams' Rock n Roll album. Only after the purchase and hearing a bleep in the middle of it did it dawn on us that we had an edited version. The hypocrisy of course is that they sell all kinds of R rated movies with sex and cursing. Grrrrr.......

Yes, we wouldn't want to upset the delicate sensibilities of rural America.

Right. When you're cooking meth, you don't want to be distracted by curse words.

Andy, with your funny accent, they're going to think you're a terrorist taking pictures of their law enforcement facilities.
