(Cat8Dog) God is apparently not fit for The Queen. The Oscar nominated film that is. The politically correct censors have reached a new zenith and apparently even the mention of the word God was too much for an employee at a film distribution company as he bleeped out all mentions of the deity before shipping the film off Delta and other airlines for in-flight entertainment. Let's hope the passengers do not need to call on BLEEP during their flight in the event the planes run into trouble in the heavens. BLEEP might take offense to His omission and make the friendly skies, well less than friendly.
Thus it was all a big mistake and the responsible company has asked for forgiveness. Jeff Klein, president of Jaguar Distribution, the company that hacked up the film for the airlines, told AP that is was all caused by an inexperienced employee who went a bit nuts when editing the film for foul language, excessive violence, nudity and blasphemies. Because of course even the mere mention of BLEEP in some circles is considered blasphemous. Perhaps the kid previously worked for Aaron Sorkin, which is about the only plausible explanation for causing the film to proclaim "BLEEP save the Queen", either that or he's watched too many episodes of the Osbournes and figured you needed to bleep out every other word spoken by anyone with a British accent? Ok, the "BLEEP save the Queen" line isn't actually in the film but it sounded better than "BLEEP, bless you."
All speculation aside, Klein discovered the kid's screw up and imminent damnation and sent correctly censored versions of the film to the airlines. So all is forgiven, even for the employee that made the mistake, he is reportedly still gainfully employed by the company and can go on to censor other films erroneously in the future. Isn't America great! Maybe Sorkin will offer him a job with a big raise now, it's not like the 4 viewers of Studio 60 would mind the BLEEPS.
