Abstract[viewer warning: physical violence, disturbing images, and explicit dialogue] Night Shift; Censorship; video and theme music; Hill and Heather talk about censorship, and ironically present it as protection; "Human Pinata" opens with a fist fight; it fades to a couple engaged in heavy petting; "Intolerance" is a documentary on censorship in media; Rita Burke, David Ross, Peter Plagens, Carol Horne, and Frank Geishecker are interviewed; Patricia Garcia Rios is interviewed by Heather and Hill in the studio; "Thank You Masked Man" begins with cowboys talking about what the Masked Man has done, and trying to catch up with him; they say he is not a nice guy even though he leaves silver bullets; the masked man explains why he doesn't wait around for thank yous; he askes instead for Tonto and a horse; as a result he is tagged anti-social; Heather and Hill are not sure the message is strong enough;
