UGHK, I hope you washed your hands before you typed that

We sat next to two children at a screening yesterday (theatre was packed!) and one of them asked thir dad "What is masturbation?"
I can't tell if our section was laughing at the question or the movie...

So they will allow people getting impaled and blown up but they cant say masterbation? They can say shit and flip cops off but no "M" word? And I thought the people here were uptight.

So let me see if I got this right. It's because of that word, and not the fact that giant f*$king robots are kicking the crap out of each other in the last twenty five minutes of the movie, that it got a PG-13?

haha mother and her small childern was sitting in fonrt of after watching the film for the third time i over heard the boy or the girl asked whats masterbation mother just sat there viewing the film didnt know how to answer it great stuff i was surprised they didnt leave once that scene came up.

I wonder who said "masterbation" in the movie? I've watched the version minus the M word.

Censorship art in mysterious way... But yeah, I agree with you. I still can fathom how does some people/contries mora codes are supposed to work.

US TV is a similar example: sex or erostim is a big, fat HELL NO yet we see plenty of violent and disgusting stuff on the small screen.

I am not being pro-censorship (though I support moderation) or I am a religious moralist (HA! I'm far away from being that), I am just pointing out a double standar that is occuring on TV rating today. Guess I should be happy the violence was not removed and replace with easter bunnies dancing like idiots the whole time.

Sam's mom! The version I saw had that line. It was the part after the lights were shut off Sam's parents were heading to his room and saw the light beneath the door.

Seeing as though I'm from the Philippines....


Wowie! I think that scene wasn't all THAT inappropriate.

Is the movie doing good there?

Dam, look what I started!

It was actually even more hilarious when they deleted the word 'masturbating' from the movie. In that edited version, Sam's mom repeated asking "Were you..." twice, so it makes it hard for minors to understand what's she's implying but obvious enough for grown-ups to know what it is(after the happy time comment). I didn't notice that edit, BTW, we had some awesome people in the censorship department that the scene actually appeared flawless.

Transformers is doing very well in the Philippines. Everybody knows it.

Yeah! Philippines 2000! (flashing the V sign)

Err... Philippines 2010?

Raymond T., you spelled masturbation wrong in the news post.

Maybe just to get a PG rating for this forum, rather than R-18.

Like spelling F*@^, instead of FUCK.

Hehe

Ooops SORRY. I forgot the rules about foul language.

Good thing the word was replaced with asterisks.

SORRY
