see no evil

This "blurring things lest people see them" is getting really out of hand. I can understand, at a pinch, blurring genitalia, breasts, and obscene hand gestures. What I don't get is:

• blurring the fact that someone is drinking from a glass containing alcohol. At least, I'm assuming it's containing alcohol, since it's either that or a glass of chilled horsepiss (token Bud joke). See, the guy is holding the glass in his hand. The guy beside him, who must indeed be drinking horsepiss, takes a swig. Guy with alcohol-glass tips it to his lips and has his mouth replaced by a pixelated blob for the seconds during which the glass is in contact with his face. You'd have to be some sort of retarded chimpanzee to not figure out that he's DRINKING FROM THE GODDAMN GLASS.
  Note, before you point out to me that you can't show people drinking alcohol on US TV, I'm aware of that. If this suffices for compliance, then frankly shouldn't you people be lobbying the FCC or something?
• blurring other obvious things: Ozzy, Prince of Darkness, or at least Prince of Dim Mood Lighting anyway, is throwing knives at a wooden board. Actually, it looks kinda like he's throwing huge tent pegs, but anyway. We see him pick up the knife, but when he throws it, the knife itself is blurred. So, durr. He picks up a knife and then he throws something. Let's guess what he threw, eh? Now, the thing here is that I don't see any indication that the FCC prevents you from showing people throwing knives, otherwise HBO'd be kinda short of things to show during the "Guys With Knives" season.
• blurring someone's mouth when they say "fuck". You know, it used be something of a light amusement to try and lipread someone when they were obviously angry. Here in the more enlightened Olde Worlde, the sports commentators occasionally even joke about it, since emotions run high in the weekly games of hit-the-ball-with-the-stick.
• blurring product logos. Really now. I don't believe for a second that anyone would object to having their sports logo on Johnny Knoxville's ass as he gets milled by a football team, so I can only assume that some wunderkind at MTV's head office decided that this sort of thing has to be obliterated unless, say, the owner of the logo pays MTV for the free advertising. Of course, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the owner of the logo feels that if someone goes out and copies Johnny K and gets turned into a wheelchair-riding vegetable, they'll sue the logo people. Probably in addition to Knoxville, Spike Jonze, Jerry whatisface, the cameraman, MTV, anyone advertising during the show, the football team, the owners of the football pitch, the camera manufacturers... Which is about as fucking STUPID. HELLO PEOPLE TAKE SOME FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS.

Gah. I guess really I should just stop using MTV as background noise when I'm doing stuff.
