    I've just been watching the South Park episode Goobacks about the immigrants from the future coming to South Park and I can't believe they have actually censored the word 'retard'. What the hell? I just checked the transcript of the episode and it appears twice and was censored both times.

    The show went out between 1:30am and 2am so how can they justify such stupidity 'correctness'.

    Ridiculous. I think I'll complain and see what they say. Anyone else come across this?

    Some people really do take the whole pc thing a little too far.

    "let's have *beep*, a *beep* *beep*'

    Comedy Central have being censoring episodes of Frasier and Scrubs for years now.

    But South Park at 1:30 in the moring, WTF?

    I think so, but I haven't watched it in a while now. But when airing Scrubs, they would take out whole sections and a line here or there for during the day but then the episode would be normal is shown after 9:00.
