Censorship Schmensorship, WTF?

We here at Nanny Goats in Panties — and when I say “we”, I am of course referring to me and my lion slippers:

Big Furry Lionhead slippers
Rawr!

Anyway, at NGIP, we take great care in bringing you fabulous content, and we do our best to keep it clean, profanity-wise. However, it has recently come to our attention that Amazon begs to differ, as evidenced by my profile:

Now, I don’t know if Amazon’s auto censorship bot is bristling over the word “Humor” or “Kindle”, but it’s this kind of prudishness that is stifling some of the blogosphere’s most inspiring creativity. I have a good mind to organize a Blogger’s March on Washington. You know, free speech, right to bear arms (or in my case, bare lionhead-clad legs), that sort of thing.

I know my rights! OK, I don’t really know my rights. It’s the criminals that always seem to know their rights. At least on TV. If I ever got arrested, I wouldn’t have any idea what the cops are allowed to cajole out of me without a lawyer present. I would just tell them whatever they wanted to know, thinking I’m an honest person and telling them the truth is the right thing to do. But no, that’s the wrong thing to do. You are screwing yourself talking to the fuzz and I think you’re supposed to ask for a lawyer the second they start asking you questions. But I don’t have a lawyer. On TV, people always seem to have lawyers, appearing out of nowhere after the commercial break telling their client they don’t have to answer this question or that question.

Also, the police could probably come to my house and case the joint, and I wouldn’t think to ask to see a search warrant, because I’m afraid of authority. I’m thinking this kind of thing should be taught in school, like Home Ec, or Woodshop. They could call it Excuse Me, Officer 101.

Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, the profanity thing. I’m not through with Amazon. I believe the American thing to do is get all huffy and go on national television a la That Newdow Guy who claims his rights are being violated approximately every 16 months or so. Imagine my talking head on Fox News with Gloria Allred, my attorney (because by then I will have figured out how to have an attorney and have a big one, at that) getting all self-righteous on national television. And then Bill O’Reilly will ask if viewers can go somewhere for more information and I will say, with confidence, “Yes, they can go to Nanny Goats in P-BLEEEEEEEEEEEP“.  I mean, they’ll have to pixelate my mouth and everything because you don’t want America’s children being exposed to such vulgarity.

frilly pink panties

    And what exactly is Amazon’s definition of profanity? Since the Supreme Court couldn’t define it, how can Amazon? Or does it just know it when it sees it?

  • http://www.injaynesworld.blogspot.com/ Jayne

    Consider it clicked. Oh, and ef Amazon.

    Umm, does it hurt when the lions eat your feet?

    I clicked and popped back ’cause I wanted to laugh at those lion slippers some more. LOVE ‘em. One year during spirit week at school before I retired I wore giant hillbilly feet slippers, they were almost as funny.
    Have a wonderful day bashin’ Amazons censors.

    Maybe it has something to do with the fact that lions are ravenously chewing on your feet.

  • http://it-really-is-all-about-me.blogspot.com/ Roxane

    May I suggest changing your blog to “Nanny Goats in Under Garments” … maybe less profane?

    Golly gee willickers NGIP…you seem pretty clean to me and my innocent mind.

    Every time I click on the top 25 link I get “bushwhacked.” Conspiracy maybe? Sorry Nanny G, I tried.

  • http://mindofamadwoman.blogspot.com Mad Woman

    I tried to click the link but got a 404 error message. It bugged me so I came back here to giggle at your lion slippers and their fantasticness.

  • Theresa

    Profanity? WTF?! I think the lion slippers are sooo cute.
    Anyway, come over to my place and pick up your award.

  • http://Iwonderwye.blogspot.com Amy Gray Light

    those lion feet! I suppose I should keep my bunny slippers far away…..

  • http://buttsandashes.blogspot.com/ Marla

    I clicked away and found websites needing censorship. Shall I send them over to Amazon as a diversion? Then you and the herd can make a run for it.

    I personally find the word ‘panties’ offensive. I would prefer is be censored out for my reading pleasure. :)

  • http://www.knuckleheadhumor.com Knucklehead

    Don’t tell ‘em anything, Nanny. Mum’s the word.
    At least I saw that on CSI or something.

    I’m asking for a pair of those lion slippers for my birthday! VERY cute.
    And the censorship thing– I yiyi. I’ll march on Washington with you.

    I find it amusing that a company would put “the text entered may NOT contain profanity”. What a perverse world we live in that now we have to tell people there is NO profanity. :)

  • http://mybabciasbabushka.blogspot.com Collette

    WHAT? Are you kidding me? What else do they expect nanny goats to wear? I certainly hope they don’t expect them to go commando! Now that would just be a travesty! You keep after those amazon people.
    I love the lion heads but being from Detroit, they would not be very popular here right now…LOL! meow!

    “Pixelate your mouth” sounds dirty.
    As in:
    “I want to totally pixelate your mouth.”
    Yep.
    Dirty.
    Awesome.

    did the lions eat your goat slippers while you were wearing them?

    And what exactly is Amazon’s definition of profanity? Is it the word panties? Thats RETARDED.

    I’d very much like to enroll in Excuse Me, Officer 101. Cops terrify me. My only encounters have been harmless and friendly, but I cried both times. I don’t know my rights. I’d just let them drag me away to prison for saying “penis” on my blog.

  • http://rantraveroll.blogspot.com/ Christina @RantRaveRoll

    Wow! A blogger is smothered in the red tape now.
    Giving you a click before I go ;-)

    What do the lions eat?
    AND
    I didn’t think you were really a naughty girl, but I guess the real truth has finally come out!!!

    How funny! I agree with the class on how to deal with the police. I too am terrified by the authority and never want to do anything to be on their bad side. I am even careful when I speed.
    Good luck with your obscenity problem.

    Footwear that appears to be consuming the very feet they were meant to protect rule.

    I bet my gorilla head slippers can kick your lion head slippers ass.
    I ALWAYS click on the Top 25 for you….I believe this is the closest I’ve ever seen you to Xenophilia….which I don’t enjoy nearly as much as I enjoy your panties. Wait. That doesn’t sound right.

  • http://meandyouandellie.blogspot.com/ Ellie

    Maybe it’s not the panties but the goats. Maybe they’re some prechristian fertility symbol that amazon has a prudish fear of? I bet that’s it.
