I caught the South Park movie after midnight on Comedy Central a few months ago, and it was definitely uncut and unedited--all the harsh language and visible body parts intact!

Really?? Wow, because I was kind of scandalized (not really - I find profanity hilarious for the most part) sitting in the movie theater. On TV? I can't even imagine.

This is BRILLIANT:

The Ministry of Reshelving is dedicated to the proper classification of fiction and nonfiction books. The current Ministry initiative focuses or relocating a total of one thousand nine hundred and eighty four copies, across all 50 United States, of George Orwell's _1984_ from "fiction" or "literature" to more suitable sections, like "Current Affairs", "US Politics", "True Crime", or "New Non-Fiction." You are invited to join us in our reshelving efforts.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I remember only laughing to the point of tears over "fishsticks" in some gung-ho action shot.

Oh man, this reminds me of that Carol Burnett Show skit of a redubbed WWII era movie with Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner as sailors having a bar fight and yelling "Thank you!" "No, thank YOU!" at each other.

Up with the sun

Does Comedy Central really go all out in their late-night airings, like the ads say?

I've seen various Kevin Smith movies uncensored, so I'm going to say yeah. But I think it's weekends-only, not every night.

I am fascinated by the increased swearing on the regular cable. And I LOVE IT.

me too. Nip/Tuck is like an HBO show, except they don't say fuck. ("Cunt" might also be off-limits.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like they say "cunt" on Nip/Tuck, but it might just be obvious that that's what they mean.

They'd attempt to use phrases that matched the mouth movements.

My favorite from "Do The Right Thing" on network TV: "Mickey Fickey YOU!"

I've got replacements I use from when I was a nanny (or now, just around children.)

fuck-> fudge
shit-> scissors (it's a family thing)
don't give a flying fuck-> don't give a flying finn

There's one involving ducks, but it escapes me at the mome...oh. "lord love a duck" except that really isn't a replacement, it's just... something.

I'm thinking that's replacing "Fucking motherFUCK!"

move out and draw fire

They'd attempt to use phrases that matched the mouth movements.

The Breakfast Club had "hot beef injection" replaced with "hot love and affection."

Whatthefuckever.
