Fox has censored a semi-proposal scene between Klaine where Blaine gives Kurt a homemade gum wrapper ring.  According to Afterelton.com, they have also removed Klaine scenes where the boys kiss, hold hands, dance, etc. (FOX claims the numerous scenes of Klaine that have been removed from the show were removed due to editing, and yet Fox somehow has the ability to include 4 Finchel kisses per every 2 episodes, while they have removed every Klaine kiss that has occurred in the last 17 episodes, as well as multiple romantic scenes between the two boys. According to Fox's own stats, Klaine is the most popular couple on the show, and yet their relationship has been stripped out of almost every episode for the last half of season 3). Fox initially promised to release the proposal scene (known as "the box scene") on the extras of the season 3 DVD, but are now planning not to release it. Click here to read the missing scene, as well as more about Klaine censorship:  www.afterelton.com/tv/2012/05/…
Send a homemade Gum Wrapper Ring and a letter requesting that FOX inlude the scene in the season 3 DVD set. In addition, request that our boys receive considerable romantic screen time and a kiss by the third episode of the 4th season. This is not much to ask, as Rachel and Finn kiss more times than that in each episode.  In addition, we request that Brittana share at least 4 kisses during the course of the season, and that FOX stop censoring Glee's writers, directors and actors.  (letter, phone script and addresses below) Tell the network how much this censorship hurts you. Send in your letter and a gum wrapper ring.  Make a difference!

And Klaine needs the help of their wonderful gay-rights-loving-censorship-hating-Gleek-family…re-post this blog, post it on your facebook page, tweet about it…we need as many Klaine fans as possible to contact the network. Lets save our boys!

Phone script (you can use these general guidelines, but it's always better to approach Fox in your own words):

I am calling to say that I would appreciate it if Kurt and Blaine's relationship on Glee is given more screen time in the future.  I would also appreciate it if they would be allowed to kiss more in the future. I know that Fox is claiming that this is not a censorship issue. But it is difficult to believe this when Kurt and Blaine, who have the most popular relationship on the show according to Fox's own polls, are hardly ever seen in the same room together anymore.  They have not kissed in 17 episodes, and have only kissed 3 times during their entire relationship, while Finn and  Rachel kiss 3 times or more in every episode or two. Thousands of people on-line, even ones who do not know about the box scene, believe that FOX is censoring Glee's writers. The relationship between Kurt and Blaine is the primary reason that millions of your viewers watch Glee. Please listen to the fans of the show, and start giving this wonderful couple more screen time.

Letter script (you can use these general guidelines, but it's always better to approach Fox in your own words): I am writing to request that the "box scene" be included in the extras of the season 3 DVD box set. This scene means a great deal to fans, and we would appreciate it if you gave us the opportunity to own it. You are far more likely to sell a greater quantity of DVD's if you include it in the set. In addition, I would appreciate it if Kurt and Blaine's relationship on Glee is given more screen time in the future.  I would also appreciate it if they would be allowed to kiss more in the future. I know that Fox is claiming that this is not a censorship issue.

I AM NOT THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS POST AND I DON'T OWN THE IMAGE EITHER!!! I feel the need to repost it to save romantic Klaine scenes and to rescue the lost Klaine box scene!!! Let's try to keep it on the Glee DVD Season 3 box set, shall we?!? PLEASE FOLLOW INITIATIVE ORIGINATED BY THE SAVE KLAINE PROJECT!

I just wrote an email to Kevin.reilly@fox.com titled Glee Fandom Complaint; The Kurt and Blaine cut scenes--.

The "Klaine" Cut Scenes



Dear whoever it may concern,


Hello, my name is Anna Stevenson, I'm fifteen, and I'm a resident of Camarillo California.

I have been a gleek since the beginning of Glee in 2008. I personally connected to my currently favorite character, Kurt Hummel. I grew up with intense bullying because of my apparent sexuality, innocence, and weird fashionable sense. I loved how Kurt wasn't afraid to be his witty, sarcastic, feminine self.

In season two, Kurt, as you know, became lonely and was introduced to "The Warblers" and met his current lover Blaine Anderson. People as myself, who grew with Kurt, felt incredibly happy about the new fandom. Now, "Klaine" is the highest rated couple in the Glee fandom.

However, in season three, there was apparently many missing scenes and censorship of the couple starting after episode five of the third season, "First Time".

For example: Episode Nine, "Extraordinary Merry Christmas".

You've probably heard this thousands of times since the release of a picture of Kurt opening a ring box from Blaine that held a gum wrapper ring. Blaine explaining the lack of money to buy a real ring, but told Kurt it was indeed a promise ring. That scene was cut out because of the episode apparently beginning to get to long, so it was edited out. But, the gleeks were promised that it will be edited back in once the season three DVD releases.

There is a threat that, that scene will actually not be edited back in, hence it will still be cut.

The unnecessary censorship is heartbreaking. I personally, and thousands of other gleeks will no longer be watching Glee if the censorship between Kurt and Blaine continues. It's hurtful.

If you think censoring the highest rated couple will boost your ratings, I'd think again.


Sincerely,


Anna Stevenson
