Just watching a rerun of The X-Files, the first appearance of Gibson Price... there's a piece of dialogue where Diana Fowlly (sp?) says she's spent too many years in the brains of Arab terrorists. But now, while the closed captioning still has Arab in the dialogue, it is now dubbed as 'armed'. It's shit like this that fucking pisses me off. I'm too tired to get into it now, but I wish I understood the thought process that goes into a decision to change a published work of art after the fact, just because a couple years later, some people may be offended. The whole E.T. thing was a total joke, changing terrorists to hippies and the rest of that shit, but honestly where does it stop?
I swear I'm gonna turn on FX one night and see an airing of True Lies, where the Arab terrorists are now going to be really tanned white guys who are mad at having to pay taxes...
