i cant figure out if it was the bird getting zapped or maybe the poor neptunians(they are so poor they will eat old gum)
in todays pc world maybe that would offend but i say if you got a tv you aint really poor
oh maybe it was the polar bear swimmers dying in the liquid ammonia stream
or the dead grandpa
or the what the hell is kwanza book
nothing on tv is cooler than the prof with a shotgun it apears to be a winchester 1897
I have NOOOO idea. I was seriously expecting some sort of animated bloodbath since FOX wouldn't even show it. I opened a new tape and recorded on SP because I thought I was in for some sort of violence milestone. I've watched it three times and I still can't figure it out. My best guess is the use of all the firearms (shotgun, flamethrower, bicycle cannon).
Spluh, the Tales of Interest segment when Leela murders everyone was much more violent. I guess since they advertise it as a "Christmas Special" they're afraid kiddies will watch. Dunno why that matters, since around here (LA) they let freakin nine-year-olds rent Hannibal at Blockbuster.

Think about the ending. They forgot to put the final joke in where every character laughs (comic relief), so the Fox censor became scared.

I was expecting a lot of sexually explicit jokes or somesuch when I saw the disclaimer. I guess they were afraid that kids would be disturbed by the concept of a murderous pillaging Santa Claus. Or maybe it's just to inform parents that "Futurama" isn't exactly a kid's show, since this is the time of year everyone plops their kids in front of the TV for anything resembling a Christmas cartoon special.

I personally have no idea. I thought Futurama had perhaps gone the South Park route in terms of content (at least by the way Fox was holding the ep back), but it turned out to be really tame and actually kinda boring. A "C" episode at best. In all fairness, that ep wasn't what Futurama's humor is all about.
