The Wall Street Journal Censored My Response Because of My Language
I guess I should be glad. The Wall Street Journal has just saved me from myself. I was entering a comment on an article about video game developers increasing the amount of family friendly and kid-friendly games, as opposed to violent and sex oriented fare that dominates sales.
I was glad about the news. Here is a link to the article: Game Makers Push 'Family' Fare: Companies Hope Less Violent Videogames Bring New Users, but Sales Are Uncertain.
My comment included mentioning that we in my family had decided to not get Guitar Hero for the Wii we're giving to the kids for Christmas. We've all played it and we're all bothered by the content. The kids more than even I or my wife. I made reference, in my response to the article, to "Whores" in describing how the women are dressed in the game and about the pervasive sense of drug culture in the video portrayals. My girls also object to the lyrics, saying that they made them uncomfortable.
Apparently the use of the word "whores" in my response got me the auto-censor - fair enough.
