    Fleming was writing in the 50s, of course he would be censored. If he was writing today, he'd be allowed to let those F bombs flame the literary lands below him. Publisher fascists.

    I'm just glad my point about Bond being a moderate swearer has been upheld by the word of God, Mr. Fleming.

    I also find it amusing that a bourbon drinking forum has strict swearing rules, because you can't really predict what folks will get up to when they imbibe a bit too much. Any self respecting drinker would be banned for their word choice in the first week of joining. Seems like playing with fire. ;)

    Well, he wasn't censored when he used words like "Merde", "Enculer", or "Scheissekerl". But maybe the censors didn't understand french. Or german. Funny thing, they seemed to understand russian, though.

    Great shout!

    '"Y*b**nna mat!" The gross obscenity was a favourite with General G.'

    Despite living Russia for three and half years I have to say I haven't the faintest idea what it means but 'gross obscenity' will do for me! Do we even have any Russian members it might offend?

    Failing that a few classics here (obviously be warned - they actually write the words out in full here!!):

    The very notion of attempting to try and turn Casino and Scarface into family friendly films just shows how freaking absurd this whole process is.

    @TheWizardOfIce, I love watching R rated films that have been censored for TV. It's funny you mention Scorsese, as the funniest I've seen is the edit of The Departed shown on a movie only channel here in the states. They found such hilarious ways to get past all the swear bombs and in a way I prefer the censored cut to the theatrical cut from an entertainment standpoint.

    Pure movie magic:

    Don't worry. Easy mistake to make.
