In the most recent season of The Bachelor (U.S.) one of the contestants was from Canada (Maria). I forget the circumstance but on Night 1 she gave the Bachelor something with a Canadian flag on it, and on U.S. TV the flag was blurred out. I looked it up, and supposedly the Canadian Maple Leaf flag is copyrighted and cannot be used for commercial purposes. That was the first time I'd ever seen it blurred out on TV. But then at some point later in the show they showed the flag, and it wasn't blurred out.
Can anyone give a Yank a quick thumbnail of the rules for when the flag is blurred on TV and when it isn't?
"Maria Georgas, a 29-year-old executive assistant from Ontario, stepped out of the limo with a small Canadian flag in hand to give him a piece of her home. So why was it blurred out?"
I had never seen that before, and apparently a lot of others were taken by surprise, too, which is why USA Today and other lite-news outlets covered it.
Was it just a mistake by an inexperienced censor at ABC? Is that why nobody has heard of it? And is that why they only blurred it that one time?
Probably don’t want our brand of pinky commie free healthcare bs to influence y’all
Canadians are also getting sick and tired of these champagne socialists. Singh is the worst, probably the biggest hypocrite I have seen in Canadian politics driving around in his BMW and designer clothes and his family owning rental properties.
