Eat me, dammit. That's an order.
Wondering if the edit was to cut the film shorter in order to show more adverts.

Re: Over zealous censoring?
Austin powers is the movie which really pisses me off for censorship
imagine the scene 'swedish made penis enlarger'
this got destroyed with changing it to
'swedish made enlarger pump'
FFS!!!!! there's nothing obscene about the word 'penis' is there?

It is the Turner Broadcasting System ("TBS"). Why did you expect uncensored viewing?

you've been here long enough to know that that's right, it makes no sense 
I blame Janet Jackson!! apparently censorship has gotten worse since she saw fit to terrify millions of unsuspecting viewers with her boobie :scared:
