Sally Field UNCENSORED



As many know by now, Sally Field’s acceptance speech at the Emmys this week recognized the mothers of U.S. troops. She ended her speech with, "Let's face it: If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no [CUT TO SILENCE BY FOX CENSORS]."

The rest of line was this: "...goddamn wars in the first place."

I found it rather satisfying to watch the uncensored version, here. Try it. You'll see what I mean.

(The embedded video from YouTube in this post is the CENSORED version. Thank you, Jeff, for the clarification!)

You've got the censored version up...but you say 'hit play' to get the uncensored version. I'm confused, though clicking on the link does provide the uncensored version, and it's nice to see both.

On the other hand, that's some fantastic gender essentialism going on with the whole idea that if mothers ruled the world there would be no wars--lots of wars started by women (and mothers) who ruled, historically.
