The other day when I was browsing Channel 5, watching the Michael Buble Christmas special, guess what I saw.
Yes, the promo for Spartacus: Blood and Sand to show in Singapore, on the free to air channel, Channel 5. Now that set me to thinking, I did not know much about the show except that the cast was hot and there was lots of sex scenes.
This brings to mind the drama, The Tudors which are to me similar. Anyways, so I sat there thinking. Spartacus? Spartacus? Am I in the Twilight Zone? Why would Sg even show it? I mean, its so unexpected. Then I thought some more and said to myself, its going to be cut soooooooo much that one episode is eventually like half an hour. Because you know there will definitely be some conservative people that hate watching people have sex in their tv and whine about it, either online or anywhere else.
And so, I have this question in mind, why does the Media Authority or whatever even bother bringing in this show when they will most certainly cut it, and why not bring in the many better shows that there are out there? Like what is the point? Seriously
This is something that I will never ever understand. Like Ever ever.

LMAO..Cse they need the extra 30mins of censorship time for their adverts!! Dont bother to understand, i just simply go online and finish watching it with 0 censorship and 0 adverts.
Another reason i can think of is that the rights given to TCS must be cheap :X
I so agree with the first part about the censorship for ad time thing, it is what they would do. But I honestly cannot see how the rights for such a show would be cheap to acquire, but I could be wrong.
