when are these words properly used?

and can you think of examples of when artists/publicists/etc. have used them just to seem more provocative than they actually are?

like if you make a video with full frontal nudity, for instance, can you turn around and say it was BANNED from MTV when it clearly never stood a chance of being played in the first place?

Banned in the USA.

or is the MTV example a good one - just because something is routinely banned, it's still "banned", right?

Supposedly up until the 1960s, being able to print "Banned in Boston" on a book's jacket meant that it would be a bestseller everywhere else.

_, my boundless commitment to originality is something that you can only wish to ever possess. Because really, it does take a man of tremendous self-discipline to resist the joyous pleasures of the satisfaction of reviving a thread after two and a half years, to re-make a joke that was made only three posts above.
