a disconcerting observation made while watching the history channel
my sister and i are watching 'forrest gump' on the history channel and i noticed something about the editing of the movie

they left in the 'n' word but edited the 'christ' out of 'jesus christ' and 'son of a bitch'

i have imbibed far too much to make a judgment call on this one, but the distinction was not lost on me

2. Actually they are more of the religious history channel now
Very little WWII stuff any more, but they sure run a lot of programming on biblical and religious history.

they needed something new.
