injest:
I thought Bravo was 'gay friendly' and on top of that it is CABLE...good grief...
did they show Anne Hathaway's breasts??
injest:
"Jack FREAKING Twist!!"
doesn't have the same punch does it?
:P
Sheriff Roland:
I may be wrong here but ...
I believe Bravo's a canadian station - (thus the pro-gay reputation[?]) a part of the CITY-TV family of stations.
Therefore, as a Canadian, and even though I no longer watch TV ....
I would like to apologize.

Bwaaa-ha-ha! ::) ::)
How utterly sad - perhaps especially the removal/mangling of the two tent scenes.
Did they at least keep the reunion intact, or did they remove that kissing as well?
Well, BBM is in elite company as it enters the list of great works of art around the globe that have been censored, covered up, mangled or blown to bits in order to comply with the lowest common denominator of prudery from ignorant busybodies who had no concept or understanding of art, nor indeed of anything much else, but lots of concepts of how to restrict and meddle in others' "Morality" while purporting to be motivated by the concern that those others (not ever themselves) would be corrupted.
For some reason, the first thought that came to mind in comparison was that Iran some years ago (before the intro of the Euro currency) wouldn't allow people to possess French Franc bills, because the bills held the image of the great French national painting "Freedom leads the People" in which Freedom is a woman with a *gasp* bared breast showing. *shakes head* Yeah, that would corrupt innocent minds the way the mullahs never could!
milomorris:
The overriding question is: Did the edits change the meaning of the story?
