<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An over-zealous censor bleeped out all references
to God when editing an in-flight version of the Oscar-nominated film The
Queen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The operator had been told to remove all
profanities when preparing a version for several commercial
airlines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When one of the characters addresses the Queen,
played by Helen Mirren, passengers aboard certain Delta and Air New Zealand
flights heard: "(Bleep) bless you, ma'am" rather than "God".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jeff Klein, president of Jaguar Distribution, which
supplied the airlines, said the removal of God in seven instances was a mistake
by an employee who had taken his instructions too literally. The films have been
replaced with unedited copies.</FONT></DIV>
