Political Censorship

Here's why you want to protect net neutrality and prevent AT&T's bid to control internet access.

A live Internet broadcast of Pearl Jam's performance at Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival Sunday went off without a hitch -- until singer Eddie Vedder criticized President Bush.

[...]

The performance, sponsored by AT&T Inc. and carried on AT&T's "Blue Room" site, omitted the lyrics "George Bush, leave this world alone" and "George Bush, find yourself another home" as part of a version of the song "Daughter," according to the Pearl Jam Web site.

"We don't have a policy in place to censor," said AT&T's Tiffany Nels. "We have a policy on excessive profanity. This was an honest mistake. There was no censorship intended."

Riiiight.

What words in the cut lines are excessively profane or age-inappropriate (as was reported elsewhere)? Unless you consider the name George Bush to be profane.

Oh.
