The Russians have a word for the people that do this kind of editing of direction. Zampolit. They also have a word for what I think of at least the American variety of them. Nekulturny. Uncultured, but with a connotation that goes beyond "redneck" or "lout" into the deliberately rude. It's the same level of insulting as if you were questioning a German's sanity, or a Latino's parentage, or a Japanese person's honor. (The former will get you a slander lawsuit like a blitzkreig; the latter two are liable to get you a knife. Point first.) And, yes, I have that little respect for what these idiots are doing.
