The Digital Dragon

Is it just me or does the UK version of Trash of the Titans have the word "wanker" edited out of it.

That's not normal: normal is coming home to find your mother nailed to a cross screaming verses from the book of Mormon, your dad performing a dark ritual with your brother as the sacrifice, and your sister getting railed by a goat.

It does, although the BBC and Sky edit Mr Burns utterance of it in different ways. While Sky quickly fades out after Mr Burns says "D'oh!", the BBC replace the word with another "D'oh!". So now after being hit with the spoon he says "D'oh! D'oh!". (Did that make any sense at all?)

Yes, but its more like wuuururgghh....wuuururgghh... You can still see what he's actually saying by lipreading. I don't begrudge Sky and BBC2 edits like this one - you can't say that at 6pm on TV its bad for the kiddies :)

Yep, although i've only seen the unedited version and the BBC version, even before I saw the unedited version the way the sound is doubled up for apparently no reason seemed strange.
