Thanks mobo, that’s been itching at my mind.
Dang it! You got to it an hour before I did.
Oh well. Anyone looking to watch the “shit” episode, its title is “It Hits the Fan”, and it’s in season 5. I don’t know if the DVD is out for that season or not.
I believe the last season that is out is Season 4.
Season 5 should be out in March to coincide with the beginning of Season 9 on CC.
According to tvshowsondvd.com, South Park Season 5 on DVD hits stores on March 1.
Sometimes bleeping can be funnier than hearing the real word, especially if a character is really going at it, with a whole series of bleeps. It calls attention to the fact that there’s cussing going on.
So far, fortunately, the FCC only censors the airwaves. Sanctimonious assholes like Michael Powell are thinking about getting their paws on cable, though, even premium cable. Imagine “The Sopranos” with bleeps. Ridiculous fuckin’ idea.
This post has been BLEEPED by the BLEEPING FCC.
(side note: I really don’t care much. I just had to get to this before someone else did.)
The “Shit” episode is on won of those Best Of… DVDs (with three other episodes).
And I think the self-censoring by cable channels is a fear of regulation.
