Here's a pro-tip, don't expose your kids to it period. If you think it's too much for their little minds to comprehend, don't expose them to it. Don't take it upon yourself to force that value upon the world around you.
I don't agree with what is taking place here. Art is art. Leave art the fuck alone.
you know, i have to disagree with you a little bit here, but only a little. yes, it is an art, and it is intended to be viewed a certain way (viewed being a relative term here) and i agree with your analogy, but at the same time, he's not destroying the original. i personally have no interest in listening to it censored, and i actually would not let my kids listen (when i have kids) until they reached about 15, or i decided they could handle it, but i really don't have a problem with him doing it and making it available. it's kind of like buying your kids lucky charms and picking out the marshmallows, why would you buy your kids lucky charms and not cheerios in that instance, i don't know, but regardless it is within his perview to do so for private consumption. maybe he feels his kids can handle the story, but doesn't want them exposed to all the language, i don't care, but he hasn't made the original in any way unavailable, so i'm kind of for him spending his own time to make the show more accessible to a wider audience, because language or no it's still a great piece of fiction. now, as far as actually making it available, that is definitely something that he should talk to KC about, but with his blessing to make it available here, i'm all for it. kind of a way for fans to pay tribute by trying to make it available to a wider audience.
