Main Too Soon Discussion
Main Man J: For the Spider-Man 2 video game entry, is it really necessary to have a spoiler tag for Electro's name? The game's subtitle is "Enter Electro" and he's very clearly the main villain throughout the entire game. Assuming he's the final boss isn't much of a stretch.
It's surprising that nobody gets offended by how 'time passing makes it okay' it's not as if the people come back to life.
I'm confused about this entry:
"Apparently, it is still too soon to joke about the crucifixion of Christ. Stephen Lynch Live at the El Ray includes a song called "Craig Christ" which has a single line about Jesus' brother Craig's feelings about the crucifixion: "Jesus was our mother's fave, all our love to him she gave//but there's no sibling rivalry, when he's nailed to that tree..." The audience, which has laughed through all the rest of the song, makes shocked gasps."
OK, I've not seen this, so I don't have the full context, but how is that Too Soon? That just sounds like not finding it funny.
A couple of the Simpsons references under "9/11, Western animation" are in the wrong place - a Princess Diana reference, and this:
"And in 2011, when Japan went through a nuclear crisis due to a plant that got damaged in the Tohoku earthquake, a German channel either censored or banned all [Simpsons] episodes featuring the nuclear plant (which means a lot of early episodes in which Homer was steadily employed there [...] will never be seen again — save for DVD and home video release)."
I don't think this is accurate - it's only described as temporary in the reports I've read (Berliner Zeitung
and Bild-Zeitung from March 2011). The Swiss and German channels said they would replace any nuclear-themed episodes for a while, which I'm sure most broadcasters did. The German Pro 7 spokesperson is quoted as saying it hadn't even been necessary yet - and there's no mention of individual scenes being censored.
Fukushima was a big issue in Germany, with the chancellor announcing plant closures by 2022 as a result of it, but this entry seems quite exaggerated. (And in the wrong section)
