Not only that, but they went and blurred the butts of those 2 nudists at the Kiss concert. They never did that for any Simpsons butt shots. People like the edgy humor and offensive jokes. That is why they watch it. Fox is going to go all brain dead and ruin a classic show with censorship. Then they will all wonder why it got bad ratings again.
Well whats stranger then that is the fact that they didnt bleep whore, which raises some interesting ideas about fox. Being a whore? Fine with Fox. Taking a dump? Not fine with fox

The 'Tommy Tutone' line was cut in the UK, y'know. And the 'wanker' bit, but that was to be expected.
We're* all on tenterhooks wondering if Willy's mention of 'shite' is going to slip through the net on a forthcoming Simpsons episode.

Any idea why? Is "damn you" particularly offensive in the UK?

In article ,
No. More likely to be because nobody in the UK has any idea who or what Tommy Tutone is, so the joke would fall flat.

That's not enough of a reason to bleep it. If they replaced it with something more regional, then I might see the reason.

It did slip through. I'm very surprised that you can say shite but not shit on American tv. Made me happy though.

Actually you can say "shit" on American TV. Just not between 6:00am and 8:00pm (I think those are the hours). You can also say "fuck" in any nonsexual context.

Stupid FCC. Fuck them in the arsehole.
Especially since they let 'wanker' through five seconds earlier.
