Why is there no ******* swearing on Metal Hammer DVD?

Question

The F-words have all been edited out! Why?

And why are some T-shirts and part of the Golden Gods logo Blurred out?

Answer 1

F'king f*** f*** f***ity f** - how dare they edit the swearing out.

The DVD should be about - oh, ten seconds long without the swearing, and in my mind that's a rip-off.

Answer 2

So that any censors will give it a rating that the DVD can be sold with magazine to everyone without any age limits.

And it would be blurred out as not to infringe on any trademarked designs or logos without having to pay to get permission.

Answer 3

I don't know, but that used to really annoy me. after all, there's loads of swearing in the magazine itself, and the only way you're going to get the dvd is by buying the magazine. Do they really think that the listeners of metal are going to be offended  by swearing? Bearing in mind the lyrical content of a lot of metal?

Come of publishers, grow up.m We're big people, we can take the odd f-word.

This is one of the reasons why I stopped buying Metal Hammer and started buying Zero Tolerance instead. A much better (and heavier) magazine.
