"those fuckers"

First time I've noticed the "censor" miss at Comedy Central. Thursday night, Jon Stewart could clearly be heard saying "those fuckers".

Yes, don't worry, a full Senate investigation will be under way soon.

Aw crap!

�Captain Murphy? �Estas tu? Pienso que era muerto.

With crucifixion to follow. Too bad Chris Farley is dead, he'd be perfect to play Stewart in the movie version.

Jack Black could dye his hair and play lead in The Passion of the Farley. JS could dye his hair and play Spade.

Yeah, it shocked me to hear that, but I wonder if the whole point was to provoke some sort of confrontation with the FCC. For a minute I wasn't sure that he really said 'those fuckers', but then I figured, it's Comedy Central, it's the Daily Show, they must have done it.

I think I was even more surprised at the George Takei segment. He repeated it twice.

Well, that segment was a repeat, so the "Hot, wet bitches?" line wasn't quite as shocking. I did love his facial expressions when he said that though. Back to the 'those fuckers' line, I liked how Jon handled it last night, and almost believe that whomever bleeps stuff on Daily Show just is so used to Jon saying "those fuckers" that he forgot to bleep that one.

I thought the FCC didn't regulate cable (only) channels ? That advertisers get squeamish when a show is offensive seems to be regulation enough.

As for controversy, he commented Monday about it: "no e-mail... nothin'"
