M*A*S*H, Cheers, and Seinfeld Would Never Survive Todays PC-Obsessed Media
Posted: February 7, 2014 at 5:42 pm
Jerry Seinfeld has never one to be political. Nor politically correct
Thats why it was so damn refreshing to hear his response to a recent interview question regarding a lack of diversity on his web program, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee:
Oh, this really pisses me offPeople think its the census or something. This has gotta represent the actual pie chart of America? Who cares?
And he later added
Funny is the world I live in. Youre funny, Im interested. Youre not funny, Im not interested. I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that.
Bravo.
The comment made me imagine if Seinfeld, the NBC comedy series that many feel is the greatest of all-time, could ever survive even one politically-incorrect episode (The Chinese Restaurant, Cigar Store Indian, Puerto Rican Day Parade) in 2014.
The answer?
No soup for you.
Not a chance in hell.

EDITORIAL: Censorship, Sales and Monster Monpiece – oprainfall
Posted: at 5:42 pm
This article reflects the opinion of the author and not necessarily that of the oprainfall staff as a whole.
Haru Akenaga, CEO of Idea Factory International, Inc. has released a statement regarding the fan feedback of Monster Monpiece and its censorship. Fans are not happy about the censorship and are speaking out. While we certainly dont fault anyone for speaking out Lets break this down a little bit. For those of us who have looked at the cards that have been censored, we know that they really did censor as little as possible. The main things censored were girls that were, or appeared to be, underage. There is a difference in each culture of what is acceptable, and what is not. In our culture, some of the cards in the game would not have been acceptable.
I get it! I truly do. I am against censorship. I want any game as close to the original format as possible. There are differences between censorship and localization, however. Changing these cards, in my opinion, has more to do with localization than censorship. With the amount of games I play and anime I watch that makes others cringe even I have to admit that sometimes you have to put a bit of cloth on the girly bits!
One of the first things Haru Akenagasays is: First of all, please allow me to clarify that Idea Factory International is fundamentally against censorship and we will never censor a title purely as a strategy to increase sales.He later says: The Monster Monpiece license was also offered to third party publishers but none were interested in acquiring the license. The main reasons cited were that the title was too hard-core and niche, making it extremely difficult to forecast enough sales to make this a profitable title for the western markets.
Translation card games do not sell well here.So, the company has taken it upon themselves to localize this game for all of us who do want to play it! If you would like to continue to see these types of games from the company, lets really look at this censorship. Can we see a little bit of the reasons behind this decision? Should we see the reasons behind it or should we stick with our ideals of not ever altering anything? If we cant see the reasons behind this decision, we may not get these types of games from Idea Factory Int. in the future. Lets keep this in mind and decide what side of this fight we want to be on.
The statement continues to say: Idea Factory International intends to focus its ongoing licensing and publishing activities primarily on titles that will appeal to the most hard-core gamers within the JRPG niche of the North American and European game markets. As such, this first title, Monster Monpiece, is an important test case for us and the final results will weigh significantly towards our decisions regarding future titles for these markets.
Translation if we cant sell this game, we wont be able to bring others over. When (just as with this game) other third party publishers will not localize a game with mature themes such as those in Monster Monpiece, we wont have access to them at all. Idea Factory Int. will not be able to localize the game since we will have proved to them that if they have to alter anything in the game, we wont buy it.
One of the ending paragraphs of this statement is this: We decided to release Monster Monpiece in these markets because we wanted to make our fans happy. However, if those same fans find that the modifications we felt we had to make have made the localized version of the game completely unacceptable, perhaps it was not the right decision to try to localize and publish this title for these markets. Perhaps it would be in the best interest of both our fans and our Company to publish only those titles that will not require any censoring or modification.
This is the bottom line here folks. If you cant accept changes that are necessary in the localization process, you may well lose out on games down the road that you really want to play. I said this above and Ill say it again: I am against censorship. I do see the difference between censorship and localization though. Are there any other issues with the game that you feel were altered that did not need to be? If we were talking about story changes here, I would likely be angered and speaking out against this game as well. In this instance though, its about changing cards where seemingly underage girls were way too exposed.You are all smart people who are passionate about their beliefs and I respect that! If you feel that I am wrong, or am missing some fundamental aspect to this, please (nicely) let me know!
Ill leave you with this final thought from the Press Release: Please be assured that we did our utmost to make sure that the modifications/censoring we determined necessary for Monster Monpiece were at the absolute minimum. We have paid meticulous attention to which images to replace/modify so as not to affect the gameplay and game system itself.

Censorship remains in Turkey as new Internet law …
Posted: at 5:42 pm
ISTANBUL: The European Union (EU) has expressed "serious concerns" over Turkey's new Internet law, which approves the blocking of web pages within hours without a prior court order.
The government said the new law is aimed at protecting individual privacy.
But critics said that with freedom of speech already restricted through bans, arrests of journalists and alleged pressure by politicians, Turkey is becoming more conservative.
Censorship in Turkey has a long history.
The Ottoman king, Sultan Abdl Hamid, apparently forbid the word nose from being printed, because he hated his large nose.
In modern-day Turkey, books, newspapers and other media continue to face heavy censorship.
Political satire, sex and controversial history are frequently banned, and the offending artists and writers can face fines, job loss and even imprisonment.
Cartoonist Halil Inescu has had 250 pieces of work censored, and the magazine he works for has even been bombed.
After completing one particularly controversial political cartoon, he was sentenced to 10 months in prison and banned from drawing political cartoons for three years.
I never self-censored because of the legal authorities -- I count that as a shameful thing. Im really against self-censorship and censorship. I never accept it, said Halil Inescu.

Turkish Parliament approves Internet censorship law
Posted: at 5:42 pm
ANKARA, Turkey, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- The Turkish Parliament approved of a new law that allows government entities to block access to websites, a move critics say is a violation of human rights.
The law allows the transportation, maritime affairs and communications minister to block websites without first obtaining a court order, Today's Zaman reported Wednesday.
The Telecommunications Communication Presidency will also be authorized to block a website if there is a request concerning the violation of the right to privacy.
The Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen's Association said the new law could pose problems in preserving human rights.
Critics said the new law could prevent dissidents and citizen journalists from sharing information about social or political activity, the newspaper said.
