An angry rant against censorship and sponsorship

The ‘doing it for the kids’ thing is pissing me right off.
So we’re supposed to be raising money for charity. So we need to attract sponsors. But the sponsorship thing is giant chain around our necks – oh you can’t mention squirrel fellatio in your blog, that might scare off sponsors; you cant have a three second scene of Carlos giving a 14-year-old a cigarette in your webisode, we’re doing this for the kids remember, it might scare of sponsors.
Bolox to sponsors – there aren’t any anyway – what’ve we got from sponsors? Three useless GPS from Nav’n’Blow to wear their shitty Tshirts, a box full of aspirin from some pharmaceutical company in exchange for a bumper sticker – fuck all that, wish we hadn’t got involved.
How am I meant to portray what happens when we’re travelling if it gets censored by the rest of the group because we’re meant to be raising money for kids? Or because some giant corporate company gave us a couple of SatNavs that wont even work for the majority of our journey.
What a load of shite.
We should never have claimed to be doing this for charity – instead we should have done it for a TV show. We should have filmed it, edited a pilot and then tried to flog it to anyone who was interested.
I've even been told that i can't mention how terrible Gunther the Mercedes is in case i worry Zsofi's parents. If that's the precedent i may aswell never mention a day on the road.
At the moment we’re catering for our ‘sponsors’ and ‘donators’ so cant show any of the interesting or funny stuff that’s happening – “Oooh, mustn’t offend anyone….”
Where will this end? Am I allowed to mention that we’re using illegal number plates to cross borders? Should I say that we camp where we shouldn’t? That we’re planning to film in Turkmenistan without a license? That we smuggled a camera into Bran Castle?
These are the highlights of the trip, strip them out and we’re a bible camp.
