I Hate Radio Edits

  When I was listening to the radio in the car today, Alejandro by Lady Gaga came on, this was the song that got me hooked on Lady Gaga. Anyway I happened to notice that the intro was cut out of the song, when she says I know that we are young and that you may love me, but I just can't be with you like this, Alejandro was completely cut out. I felt like the song wasn't whole without the opening intro. Earlier today I was listening to The Fame Monster in the car, where the song is in its whole form and it definitely sounded better.
  I am not bashing Lady Gaga, I like her and her music. I am pointing out the stupidity of radio edits. Here's another example of how stupid radio edits can be. Take Cee Lo Green's song Fuck You. There are a couple of different edits of this song. The most common one is simply titled Forget You. There is another edited version that I heard on the radio, and also in the TV version for the music video, where instead of saying F*** You or Forget You, it is replaced with F You. This one makes a little more sense than Forget You. Another radio edit version that I have heard of F*** You, is where the word Fuck is completely silenced. You only hear (Bleep) You and (Bleep) Her too. This one makes a little bit more sense but is stupid also.
  This leads me to my next pet peeve, Nine Inch Nails' Closer radio edit. Now hearing Closer as a radio edit is really stupid censoring the verse I want to F**k you like an animal. That's the whole point to the song. Why censor the song? It totally ruins the song, while keeping it family friendly simultaneously. I love Nine Inch Nails as much as I do love Lady Gaga. But radio edits ruin the song for me to listen to it on the radio. That's why I like to listen to CD's in the car over the radio because you get to hear them as they were intended to be heard.
  Radio edits are really pointless. One question that I ask myself from time to time is Do radio edits exist for satellite radio? The answer for me is I really don't know because I don't think it is right to pay for radio. Another factor is that I don't have satellite radio. The two 2005 Subaru Outbacks that we own do not have satellite radio. I do remember renting a car 6 years ago that had satellite radio equipped and i vaguely recall hearing a rap station that had explicit lyrics. So censorship sucks. Butchering a good song makes it worse than it is in its original form.

The 5 Most Ridiculous Batman and Robin Action Figures Ever

Batman is one of the most popular superheros of all time. If there would be a superhero to represent the action figure industry it would have to be Batman. Even though Batman's secret identity, Bruce Wayne is a billionaire, he still wouldn't waste his money on stupid suits for Batman. The following are the most ridiculous Batman action figures ever.
1. Inferno Extinction Batman

Now when is Batman ever a firefighter? The answer is NEVER. Why in the hell would Hasbro even make this atrocity? My theory is that they want kids to believe that Batman can be anything no matter how ludicrous it seems. I mean look at Batnan's outfit, he is clearly not wearing the proper turnout gear that firefighters are supposed to wear. To top that Batman is not wearing a fire helmet. The idiot who designed this toy probably thought Batman's cowl backed as a helmet. Well Guess what his cowl was made out of cloth or some kind of material in the New Batman Adventures. It looks like Hasbro has Dun Goof'd on this one.

                                                                                                     





2. Sky Dive Batman.                 

OK seriously when does Batman ever skydive? Never. If he would ever have to skydive from the Batplane, which is a jet by the way he would have to avoid being sucked in by a jet engine when jumping from the narrow cockpit of his jet. Or Batman may have an ejector seat in the Batplane. This Batman the Animated Series figure is another dumb idea from the good folks at Kenner. It just keeps getting stupider and stupider in every generation of Batman action figures.









3. Robin (Batman Returns)       

OK here is a major loophole. A Robin figure in the Batman Returns line? Are you kidding me because this makes no sense to me whatsoever. I mean this figure has fail written all over it because if I'm not mistaken, Robin was NOT in Batman Returns at all. So why make a figure of a character who was not in the movie at all. Once again Kenner dun goof'd.











4. Power Armor Batman          

Here was a great idea for a Terry McGinnis action figure from Batman Beyond but naturally Hasbro screws things up. This figure was the one and only Secret Identity Batman figure from Batman Beyond. Hasbro went along and gave this figure way to comical armor and weird Robin robot thingy which I don't get at all. Hasbro should have just made a Regular Street Gear Terry McGinnis figure instead of this crap. So guess what Hasbro, ya dun goof'd again.










 5. Firewall Robin                

Here's another great screw up by Hasbro in its Batman Beyond line, Its Firewall Robin. Just like the Batman Returns Robin, Firewall Robin has no place in the Batman Beyond line, because you guessed it, Robin was never in Batman Beyond. What in the hell were the designers at Hasbro Thinking with this one. I mean were they on drugs or something. Because there is no utter stupidity than adding a Robin figure to a toy line for a series that he was not in. Well Hasbro Ya Dun Goof'd Up.
