Can someone please explain the reason why this was able to get around the censors? (Not trying to be political, I thought it was really funny myself, just how did they get away with it?)--Theloniouszen 21:06, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Mainly because it aired very late at night.--Beau99 00:39, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Also, cable TV isn't under the jurisidction of the FCC, so unless the local cable companies do something, there are no censors once Comedy Central decides to air it. There's a discussion of this towards the end of Seven dirty words, which I was just reading (it links to this article there, perhaps the link was even a response to Theloniouszen above). --Toby Bartels 01:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

How come only in this episode 'fag' is cencored? For exaple, in the Lord of The rings episode, Cartman called the Harry Potter kids fags without bleeped. Was it just a joke or what?

Yes, it was a joke highlighting censoring and also served to show that Jimbo was gay. Zifnabxar 23:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

This is actually the second episode of Season 5, with Scott Tenorman Must Die being the first made, but was delayed for several weeks. Therefore, this was the first episode of season 5 that was aired, but the second of the season in sequence (it is catalogued at episode 502). I have changed the article to reflect this.

[edit] Ummm... No.

The fact that the word "shit" is used 162 times does not need to be verified because it was listed on a counter throughout the entire episode.... Mkay

Isn't this episode a parody of the FCC's ruling concerning the use of the word "fuck" -- i.e., that it can only be used on TV in its non-literal sense? Should this be mentioned in the article?

Well, some people have probably not seen the episode, as it is on late at night. And, those who saw the episode might have forgotten. Also, sign your posts with four tildes. Irish rover 01:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
