View Full Version : The CENSORSHIP on HowardTV

Waxing vs. Fuck Machine.

Having been off the past few days I’ve been catching up on HowardTV, watching and scanning through tons of stuff. Overall I like it. Just for the hell of it I scanned through the Fuck Machine episode and the waxing episode back to back. I know this has already been discussed, but when you watch these two episodes back to back, the difference in how each is shot is stunning. In the waxing episode we get extended, ultra graphic shots in extreme close-ups of ass-hole, balls, penis, a bleeding scrotum, even SLO-MO replays. On the fuck machine episode we see virtually nothing; no penetration, no squirting. But even allowing for the possibility that they can‘t show those two specific acts, which seems unlikely since cable porn regularly shows penetration now, it still doesn’t explain the other omissions. The first machine involved no penetration and there wasn’t one crotch shot. Everything is a series of disorienting cut-always, and occasional shots of the action from 10 feet away. It makes no sense that they practically wouldn’t show a vagina, or even the expression of the girl’s face while Cumming. Even previous episodes on HTV, such as the candle blowing episode which involved close-ups of vagina, were more explicit than this. The waxing episode was 90% action with occasional reaction shots. The Fuck Machine was virtually all reaction shots.

I know Goodstein said in a thread something to the effect of “We were faced with time-constraints, we got your feedback, look for another version in best of week”. So you mean to tell me if no one complained you would have continued to edit the episodes like this one. This shouldn’t have required “feedback”. This was simply putting out a product that was not what we purchased (uncensored stern). Moreover, the “we were under time constraints” excuse just makes no sense. This episode was edited with surgical like precision. I think it stands to reason that an episode that is edited heavily would take more time to prepare for airing than an episode that didn’t require extensive editing. I don’t really have a theory here, it’s just that any way you look at it, presenting this episode the way they did just makes no sense. I’m just baffled as to what could have happened. It’s ironic that Howard actually gets his own TV station, essentially a closed circuit network devoted just to him that his fans have to PAY a fee to have access to, and we STILL have to bitch about CENSORSHIP. Amazing.

Well put. The candle girl episode vs the Richard episode was the example that I used as well.

In Demand/On Demand porn chanels show penetration. The tounge thing wasn't even penetration.

I guess we'll never see anal ring toss, old or new in expicit detail.

You can count me in as being surprised at the censorship that we are getting so far on the channel. It doesn't make any sense to me, especially when I can rent a porn that shows full penetration. I think this is confusing to subcribers to say the least.

I can't believe Howard says he doesn't know why it's censored. The explanation can't be that complicated. Howard, try asking someone!

On my cable system Howard on demand is grouped together with all the other porn channels (Playboy, Erotic network, Spice, etc). When you turn on HTV it even has an explicit warning: EXPLICIT ADULTS ONLY PROGRAMMING.

When a station is categorized as "ADULTS ONLY" the cable companies naturally feel justified in jacking the price up a bit. That's fine, but the problem is that the way the fuck machine episode was presented did not use an editing standard of an explicit adults only channel. It essentially used an HBO type standard. Don't classify something as "EXPLICIT ADULTS ONLY CONTENT", and charge a fee associated with that classification, but then show a level of content on a par with standard late night HBO programming.

Showing a couple of porn chicks using a dildo should simply not be an issue on what is cleary labeled "EXPLICIT ADULTS ONLY PROGRAMMING". It is standard fare on every other adults only station. Don't ask people to pay the premium cable companies charge for this type of adult programming, but then give Cinemax level content. If you have porn chicks using dildos on the radio, and you proclaim "Ya gotta see this on HTV", encourage people to pay a fee to see it, don't be suprised when people get a liitle pissed when they turn on the station and see virtually nothing.

if howard doesnt wanna get too pornographic, then he should have chicks on the show fucking machines.... everything that is on the radio shuld be presented on tv in the best possible way.

HSOD is lightyears behind the Sirius shows as far as quality is concerned

First off...
I love Howard and the channel. That being said I was super anxious to
jump in and see the "Fucking Machines" episode as I wanted to actually
see these chicks "Squirt". Well I am watching the show and right before
the first "Squirt" the camera pans away. All I can think of is damn camera work.
So I think, no problem she does it a second time. Well the second time the camera
cuts AWAY AGAIN so you can't see the squirting

What the hell is going on

Are you guys censoring this or is my cable company somehow doing this?
I have Adelphia cable here in Cleveland Ohio. i hope someone can give me an answer!

Pissed off in Ohio!

PS...
Who is editing the shows? I laugh my ass off while listening and then when
I watch the show most of the good shit is CUT OUT... WHAT GIVES?

Agree 100% It's chicken-shit editing and it needs to be fixed. I don't want to see shots of Howard's or anyone elses face when some chick is getting off!! :rolleyes: The F-machine episode was terrible. :mad:

Completely agree. Fuck you Doug Goodstein.

Did you see the Fuck Machine Girls in the Best Of The Week edit? It was better. Not perfect, but better. When Goodstein says time constraints, I think he's saying the lawyers obviously mucked this thing up (lawyers are always super sensitive at the beginning of anything... over time, every starts to pay less attention). I'm happy and I'm sure in time, things will air like everyone wants too.

The "Best of the Week" version of the "Fucking Machines" episode didnt cut away from the girl squirting......you couldnt see any fluid or anything, but you could see Gary's head shoot back like JFK......

I agree with you guys....The big sell here is "uncensored". Apparrently that is bullshit.

From my perspective - the Radio show lives up to the hype...but Howard TV falls a little short.

-sorry boys, but I speak the truth.

I think the reason squirting wasn't show is they didn't know it was going to happen, I mean jeez, who knew she was even going to cum that fast, how could they know to have a close-up of Gary's face 15 secs after the machine started? and the liquid is clear so you probably would need a close up to see it...

In the original cut when the camera switches to Howard, you actually see liquid fly by because of a darker background, that shot was hilarious, I actually think the way they cut it the first time is a lot funnier than the re-edit.

I hope they don't take reaction shots out from now on, they are hilarious, If anything they should show reaction shots the first time and THEN show a replay of the action with nothing but the action a bit afterwards, then continue with the rest of the interview etc...

That's why there IS an issue of whether to make it porn or comedy, if the entire thing was shot from inside that hot asian chick's vagina, it would be porn, Howard, Robin, Fred, and sometimes Artie, don't even get a close up view of the action, they themselves are ten feet away and looking from the side, not straight on, I haven't watched Blue Iris yet but do you want reaction shots or close-ups of her ancient Twat? The show is not solely designed on getting us off ;)

They did not miss the chick "Squirting" on camera.
Are you kidding? they have MANY cameras running at ALL TIMES
so they do not miss ANYTHING. They INTENTIONALLY EDITED THIS OUT

What really pisses me off is Haward was saying "You gotta see this on TV"
Well, I go to see this and it is edited out... WTF???

Everyone needs to try and call in to the show. I will BET that Howard
does not know this and he will be really pissed off when he heard it

Goodstein is a total retard at editing. Even with other shows that I
am laughing my ass off while listening on the radio then I see them
on TV and that dick cuts out all the best stuff

Let Sal watch over his editing. He is a dick but he has a great sense of humor

SOMEONE... PLEASE GET THROUGH TO HOWARD!!!!
