I do watch movies a lot, both foreign and local films especially on DSTV and I have noticed that they are very good at censoring some strong words used in a movie. I understand their reason vividly, but what I don't understand is when they censor some biblical words like God, Jesus and so on even when they are used in a good context. Can someone let me know? |

Have noticed that too. even Africa magic does that alot. I really don't understand their motive also. if you censor words like Prostitute and Bastard why censor the the word God  sometimes I feel it's an error. |

They are trying to remain religiously neutral. You will be surprised, but a lot of people perceived mentioning "Jesus" and "God" as "forcing religion (Christianity) down their throats. And I'm sure most Christian will find it irritating while watching their favorite shows if all they keep hearing are "Allah" and "Muhammad". 3 Likes |

I think they censor them when they are used as exclamations. You know it's wrong to be exclaiming 'Jesus', 'God' etc just anyhow. Just as some exclamations like 'Fvck' and other curse words are wrong and should be censored! That's my opinion |
