The Power Rangers were censored in Malaysia, because censors thought it would get kids addicted to drugs!

While many parents complained in the United States that the Power Rangers were too violent for youth, they were censored in Malaysia for a far sillier reason. Apparently, the censors in the Asian country thought that the word Morphin' was too close to the name of the drug Morphine, and decided to censor usage of that word on the show entirely.

The name of the show was changed from "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" to just "Mighty Power Rangers" and the phrase "It's Morphin' Time" was either muted, or cut altogether! The government was in the middle of a campaign against drugs, and they were looking for any and all ways in which drug addiction could creep up on little kids, even in words on shows that had nothing to do with drugs at all.
