Editing Art

My wife made a great point to me this morning. She was watching a TV program in which the guy from CleanFlix.com was being interviewed along with a liberal college professor. Cleanflix edits movies in order to make good movies available for children. For example, Cleanflix edited 6 minutes from Saving Private Ryan in order to get a great movie to a younger audience.

The liberal school teacher was offended that people would "edit art" and "sanitize" the real world. She also didn't believe in editing movies because of their language because that is "how people talk." So would it be appropriate for a student in her classroom to say to the professor, "F___in B__ch, May I get a drink of water?"

I seriously doubt the professor would consider that appropriate, even among "people who normally speak that way." Then again, perhaps we Red Staters are just too dull to understand the nuances of life.
