Lol it's hard to convey just how bad TV was after 9/11 for quite awhile. Everything was over the top sad. Also while on the topic I'm pretty sure if I recall correctly for the entire day of 9/11 every single network besides kids shows and maybe a few others like weather all were showing 9/11 coverage. You literally couldn't find a channel not rebroadcasting the news coverage besides those, it was wild.
Do you remember how suddenly songs involving aviation and urban settings were banned from the radio? That was a remarkably stupid time.
Never picked up on that one, had no idea goddamn
Among the songs confirmed to have been cancelled by Danish radio a response to 9/11 were:
Danish songs were also cancelled, including an upbeat 1970's song with the refrain "Have you ever seen Copenhagen from a DC-9?" and a song with the lyrics "I'd like to be the pilot of a jumbo jet right before it leaves in New York"
The cancellations let to bizarre statements from musicians who felt they had to defend their songs against terror allegations. The guy with the DC-9 song were quoted for this:
It should be noted that the "bans" were not governmental and were carried out entirely by the private owners of radio stations. Clear Channel in particular, perhaps others.
They even changed the final fight of lilo and stitch
I also remember James Bond movies being pulled from the shelves of every Blockbuster for a while.
