Road to Rhode Island

I'm surprised no one has brought this up...The bit in 'Road to Rhode Island' where Stewie gets through Airport Security by singing, then 'hopes Ousama bin Laden doesn't know show tunes'...followed by his evilness bin laden himself, IMHO stands no chance of ever being shown in in reruns, or syndication(assuming Fg makes synd) again! Pity, because RTRI is probably one of the top 5 eps.ever

I brought this up right after the events of 9/11.

Actually, there are at least two things that can be done. The obvious one is to make that line one of the syndication cuts that would be needed to add additional commercial time.

Second, they could always simply record a new line to take its place. This happens quite a bit on "The Simpsons" (for example, in one episode, "Pier One" became "Trader Pete's", and in another, "Tourette's Syndrome" was replaced with "Rabies" for a short time).

Anything that plays on commerical TV will be subect to sponsor worries about offending and also making more time for ads in syndication. My question is if the DVD will ship with it intact. I hope it does.

They want to leave the option open, perhaps? Anyway, the longer they don't release stuff like this, the less likely people will buy it. Many hardcore fans will have their own MPEG2 pirate copies if they wait too long and won't buy the official ones.

Well, there's the *third* option- someone at Fox could have seom *balls* and leave the damn line in anyway. They did Hitler jokes, and he's killed way more folks than ObL.
