"Censorship is hardly, if ever justified."
Do you remember Titanic, yes that movie about the majestic ship on a historic voyage. What made the movie a huge success was not only the connection with the historic disaster and the majesty of the ship but also the breath-taking love story of Jack and Rose. Another thing about the movie which caught newslines was the scene when Rose gets her nude portrait sketched. Though this scene might have given a sect of people a good reason to go watch the movie, it was however edited out by the censor board. The un-censored version sell like hot cakes in the black market, but that's another story. Censorship has always been a debated issue with the media and broadcasting industry. Each country has a separate censorship system and different criteria of certificating movies. Not only movies, the censorship system is also applied to advertisements, books, TV programmes and even newspapers. The need for censorship and its criteria for judging is however a complex issue.
