Santeria Effect
the practice by tv/radio media of censoring materials that are not obscene or vulgar, but failing to censor the obscene/vulgar.
back in the 90’s, when the band “sublime” was in its prime, i remember watching a music video for “santeria” on tv. when the song got to the following lyrics:
“tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide. daddy’s got a new 45.
and i won’t think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho’s throat.
believe me when i say that i got somethin for his punk -ss. ”
the tv station edited out the word “forty-five”, but not the phrase “punk -ss”. this is what i call the “santeria effect”
