Censorship ended in 1968.
Unless your a liberal note media.
***Censorship ended in 1968.***
Ended in the worst possible way, with the murder of Bobby Kennedy. The news media went into hysterics and blamed violence on TV shows(which were still safe for kids), comic books, pulp fiction book covers, violent cartoons, toy guns, violent movies you could still take a kid to.
So, pulp fiction changed their covers, comic books did the same, cartoons became more Hanna-Barbera garbage factory trash, movies on TV were butchered to remove all violence, TV shows like Gunsmoke were downgraded to kiddie shows, toy guns disappeared from the toy stores.
To keep government away from movies, the industry said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system. “G,M.R,X” were the first. With the Hays code gone scenes were reshot to ADD more blood and guts with lots of sex to get the then coveted “R” rating.
