the edit PAD Its officially the age of censorship. From being unable to use "Bombay" in songs, apparently an age old inane censorship practice, to being able to roast someone in peace without "having hurt anyones sentiments", we truly live in the best of times. i nside Charlie Hebdo has made us all more sensitive to how much we really want censorship to go and has emboldened all of us to take a stance when confronted with violent and deadly forces that seek to strangle our creative freedom. We are many years away from absolute freedom of speech, a certification board as opposed to a censor board, full disclosure on political leanings for journalists and legitimate corporate lobbying. I hope in anticipation that we get there. After all, the freedom to call yourself a spade and other spades a spade is a right worth waiting for.
