    So I was listening to a song on the radio on KIIS FM (shutup), and they censored the word "gun". What's so special about the word "gun"?! What, are the new-age hipsters going to flop around in ecstasy as they pillage anything in a mile radius for a firearm they can open fire with?! Is the word "gun" offensive all of the sudden, and if so, is it as bad as the f-word or n-word?? WOULD SAYING THE WORD "GUN" ON THE RADIO SEND THE WRONG MESSAGE TO NEOSOVIET SPIES AND START A HUGE BUTTERFLY EFFECT THAT ENDS WITH WORLD WAR THREE?!?!?!? Why you censor "gun"?? (I'm not complaining, sort of; I'm just really confused)

      @zarkanorf they censor it because it might make kids think guns are cool because music OBVIOUSLY affects children more than violent video games like CoD Oh and screw KIIS FM (obligatory)

        @maxdemone Oh yes, of course; for thank goodness my boy Timmy, who somehow has Halo, CoD, along with [insert first-person shooter games], that I pay for and hand to him without taking any note of the ESRB Rating, that simulate combat with firearms, does not know what the word gun sounds like from Lil Wayne. Otherwise he might know just what the hell he's using in those games!!

      @zarkanorf @zarkanorf By the way, the uncensored line is "I got my gun in my boo purse / And I don’t bust back because I shoot first." The line roughly translates to "My beloved ladyfriend is carrying my firearm in her purse, and the reason why I do not fight back is due to the difficulty for the other person to throw a punch when I bring a gun to a fist fight" or something. I've only taken Gangsta in highschool for three years.

        @zarkanorf The censors look like they were translated to Chinese and back to English again

          @magicrussia I am tempted to take the phrase "gun in my boo purse" and throw it into that one Equilibrium thingie.

                @zarkanorf Boo's purse gun. The mental image is one of those Boo's from Mario holding a gun.

        @zarkanorf for only 3 years that is a good translation. I've been taking it for a year and a half and I can get through some basic songs

      @zarkanorf Maybe it was a double entendre (that they just made a lot more obvious).

        @scribus I really doubt this; what, are they implying that he is a minute man?

            @scribus I know a bit about some censorships and the reasoning behind those, but... then some stuff like "gun" is just plum retarded.

      @abigpony I'm slightly struggling in Affection Negotiators 203; I'm afraid my authoritative skills are lacking.

      @zarkanorf In that one Everlast song, they cut out the word "green".

        @starshine Green is my favorite color. I am disappoint by this.

          @zarkanorf Green is not Clear Channel's color.
