Bush and Film Censorship

So, you all should check out this post from Film Brain's website about the latest attempts by Bush and his cronies to act in the "moral" best interest of the American nation. About two weeks ago, Bush signed the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act (FECA), which filmbrain describes as "a nefarious and sneaky little document that includes a possibly dangerous precedent about the legality of altering a film." It allows companies to distribute altered versions of films that comply with the moral standards of the FECA, without approval or authorization from the filmmaker. By making them exempt from trademark infringement, this bill allows them to distribute versions of Schindler's List in which all references to Shindler's extramarital affairs are removed, or delete from The Spongebob Squarepants Movie a scene in which a male starfish sings and dances while wearing high heels, because it promotes a homosexual lifestyle. Take a look at his site, if not for his rant about this bill, then for his engaging film critiques and his challenging "screen capture" quizzes. I've not yet been brave enough to pit myself against his crazy-knowledgeable quiz takers, but perhaps I'll give it a try one of these days.
