[The Kiss (Auguste Rodin)|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kiss_%28Rodin_sculpture%29]

I can understand the reasoning behind censoring nudity on TV. I can swallow my discomfort. I am watching the film for free. But I shriek at totally spoiling a film by removing innocent kissing scenes while leaving bloody violence.

Somehow, [mbc|http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mbc.net%2F&ei=T6_RR5ehOaHcwwGywoyBAw&usg=AFQjCNEooTXnqzoqJT_MA09z1oQipALM9g&sig2=2ZNc4effr5K7IKfPSi1TUg]'s dull censorship policy skewed films to become more violent. Now with awkward moments were both protagonists. Male and female, blush, act shyly or approach each other affectionately and then nothing happens. But, now only scenes of aggression and violence are left.

I am not convinced that repeatedly watching violent TV will make people more violent, because there are other things in TV that balances this out.

Someone should stop this vandalism.

I completely agree with you. Nudity only is censored. What about the violence part? When youngsters see those kind of scenes they obviously get motivated to do such things. Merely censoring nudity won't help.

I think that it is done creatively considering that the sculpture depicts the lovers in an embrace of love and desire, is considered by many as the only sculpture that really shows feelings and passion between two people in love.I do agree with just censoring anyway it happens in real life anyway so I don't mind at all.
