Showcase shows porn here on basic cable.
Comedy Central has been showing 'South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut' (brilliant movie, btw) totally uncensored (after 10 o'clock, though). That means the f-word, s-word, breasts and all sorts of stuff that no other basic cable station would dare to do (even though they are legally allowed to).
I know the other stations bleep out the curse words for 'respectability' and ratings... but don't you think more people would watch a movie on TNN if it was totally uncensored? I personally think so.

"South park:Bigger Longer and Uncut"? Is it like Southpark the movie 2, or something?
No, that's the original movie's name.

They showed it here too. It was on the eve of GW2, so it had a little extra special meaning, and extra hilarity due to that.
Yeah, those damned Canadians! We should have gone after them instead of Iraq
After seeing it again last night, I realize how damned funny that movie really was. I think I go down and get the DVD today.

In Canada recently, almost every channel shows porn on a Friday night. It's really pissing me off. I don't want to watch that. Where are the crummy sci-fi movies (Excepting Flesh Gordon of course).Originally posted by Asher

Some show soft core porn here late at night, but not those stations with a good reputation. Maybe you can get hardcore via pay tv here, don´t know.
Sexual content of normal movies or F-words are never censored here, but they cut out extreme violence on some movies, esp. when they plan to show them in the early evening (eg. one station had "Gladiator" sunday at 8 pm this spring, but a friend told they cut some of the fighting scenes).
Often tv stations here also display a "warning" ("this movie contents blah blah and is not recommended for people under age xy"). Sure the kids will love such hints....

Showcase is awesome, they play stuff like Trailer Park Boys, Oz, Curb Your Enthusiasm, to Queer as Folk and little-known gay movies.

In Germany you can get lots of additional channels (incl. scifi) only via pay tv (no commercial break ups there) - nothing for meOriginally posted by Imran Siddiqui

However, I can get ca. 40 public and private tv stations.

That's the main reason why most US basic cable stations don't show nudity or cursing or even excessive violence (believe it or not
Of course premium channels (like HBO, Showtine, Cinemax, Encore) can show what they wish.

The network with the least censorship seems to be PBS. You see, there it's art.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

The USA network used to show those soft core porn late at night but always cut out the nudity. So basically you got **** all the way around.

Yeah, same thing in Ontario. I remember after my prom, we got in just in time to watch Blue Nights. We laughed out loud and then got drunk. Good times.Originally posted by KrazyHorse

Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

When they cut it out, how long are these movies then? Twenty minutes?Originally posted by Sprayber

this reminds me of something that happend at uni last year. 3 of us are sitting in my mate liam's room, it's friday night, we've just come back from the pub, we flick on the TV and the usual crappy porno with shanon tweed is on channel 5, it's nearly finished but we decide to watch the last 15 minutes or so.I know the other stations bleep out the curse words for 'respectability' and ratings
so we're just sitting, talking a bit, watching the film a bit (which is really crap), and the guy is saying something to shanon like 'well why don't you get yourself a [....]ing...' (can't remeber). we all just look at each other
phil: tell me that didn't just happen
me: they didn't just dub out the work f*ck did they...
phil: it's a porno for f*cks sake, but you can't have swearing
liam: yeah how f*cuked up is that
they dubed out the f-word, in a porno, i thought it was so funny

I don't know, I never bothered to watch one long enough to find out.

Dammit, NONE of my channels have anything remotely pornographic. I oughta call up the cable company about that. "I want my porn!"
Hell, I don't even know if we get porn on pay channels. (Not that I would know; why would I pay for it when I get it on the internet for free?
I think I should check this out more though.

bah. City TV, a local Toronto channel (and I think it's on the west coast now, too) shows softporn every friday night.And it's not even cable.

yeah, i was in junior high and we were learning about WWII. Our teachers all told us to go home and watch it, expecting it to be edited for tv. I watched it with my mother and brother... we loved the movie, thought it was an exceptional true story. However, the next day at school a lot of the teachers got in trouble because some parents thought some of the material and content was "unacceptable" for their children... and *****ed and moaned to the school administrationOriginally posted by Sprayber

I remember watching Jerry Springer once. One of the guests was a redneck racist who wanted to ship the "farming tools" back to Africa now that they weren't needed any longer. Everything that guy said was just long series of bleebs. N-words, F-words and all kind of 4-letter words were bleeped. I mean, what's the point of showing thrash TV if you censor all the trash out?
