For example I was eagerly awaiting Channel Five to show the 'Quentin Tarantino' directed double-bill of the US crime show CSI. It was taken off air with this announcement - 'Following this afternoons developments in the London terror bombings investigation we are postponing the scheduled episodes of CSI due the the nature of the story line - the episodes directed by Tarantino will now be shown next Tuesday' - instead they showed an episode of CSI that involved a surgeon who had been spurned by his lover. The surgeon slashed the lovers throat and fillet'd her new love and packed his remains in in supermarket sized meat bags to dispose of, being CSI this was as graphic as ever. Is that not just as disturbing? A Blackout on Evil
