SP swearing - do they always beep it out?

Simple question, anyone have a simple answer?

They get "asshole" through all the time...I guess "asshole" has now become a welcome word on TV. And about friggin' time! :)

"Shit" slipped through once.

You should take something for that.

US censors, too damn strict

The words "fuck", "shit", and "nigger" have to be bleeped out....and I guess we found out that dick has to be bleeped if it's in the context of sucking. Poor Fat Abott.....had so much of his dialog bleeped...hehe

it's supposed bleeped out, it adds to the fun!

To be honest, I find the 'bleeps' to be funnier than the profanity itself. It's like the creators arrange for the bleeps to be timed just right so that you know EXACTLY what's being said despite the bleep. The cuss words themselves stop being funny real fast, but when you have to 'guess' them, it's a bit more interactive.

Interactive profanity. God bless technology.

A while ago New Najar said something like this:

Yeh! Like in the first ever episode when the Aliens don't return Ike to
Kyle.
'Kyle: Hey you Skrawny assed Sh**! What the ***K is wrong with you, are
you some kind of ***************** (Couldn't get this bit).
Stan: Whoa dude!
Kyle: And you know what you ****** like! You like to
********************* ************* an*********************
an******************* an*******************!
Stan: Hey Wendy, what's a ********************?'

If anyone knows that bit that I couldn't get, please tell me!

Not *always*. In Ike's Wee Wee, Mackey said "I'm not gonna take any more of your right wing authorative bullshit," or something like that. I think that was an isolated incident, however.

"Bullshit" made it through the censors the first time through, but on the Sunday night rerun it was edited out.

An awful lot made it through censors in Britain,and I have to say it doesn't detract the humour involved at all...Anyone else think Kenny's death by ball & chain in Mecha streisland was ridiculous,had nowt to do with the ep, and was overall a crap death!?

Uh, just to clarify something...I don't know if you guys at the U.K. have them but in the U.S. that "ball and chain" thing Kenny got strangled on is a tetherball. Anyway, I think that Matt and Trey did that on purpose. I mean, it would have been sooooooooo obvious if he were killed by Mecha-Streisand (stomped to death, burned to death by her laser eyes, etc) so they killed him off in the most unexpected, ridiculous way possible.

Yeah but it was pretty poor-i mean don't get me wrong it was unexpected but not very good for matt'n'trey

Maybe I meant to say bleeping out the f(bleep)ing F word out, as it "this bit's is really f(bleep)d up right now".

"Piss ant hic town" gets through, and amusingly so.
