Current Events > remember that South Park episode where they said shit uncensored?

(+) Yeah! (+)

and how new and exciting that was? crazy how times change and it's commonplace now

Not only does South Park say "shit" regularly now but so do most cable shows. My how times have changed.

it's so crazy how times change; i remember when you'd never hear it but now it's all over.

To be fair, I always thought it was dumb that shit and asshole are banned words but bitch is a-ok.

Damn and hell were considered offensive.

I was pretty surprised first playing Final Fantasy 7 at release, when shit was uncensored yet bitch was censored.

And some channels censor "hole" but not "ass." Lot of them confuse me.

I remember when the NYPD blue episode came out and it was a big deal (what prompted the episode)

You can but most of the time they don't since it automatically means the highest rating and advertisers don't like it. They said it uncensored on Snowfall which is on FX

Yea, you can say whatever you want on Cable but much like with Youtube now, Advertisers don't like it...Channels like HBO don't care because its a subscriber based thing...They don't make their money on Ads.

lucha underground got permission to use it from el rey network. they said it like 3 times in a row.

i hate when they try to censor out wrestling fans chanting "holy shit" or something. then it's a couple minutes of basically no audio. WWE is the only one that tries to censor it sometimes although i don't remember them doing it in the past year or two.

They care too. That's why they stopped having shock video and real sex shows, Cinemax stopped with softcore porn, etc

What's dumber is that rule where you're allowed one uncensored fuck per season. Breaking Bad had it, I'm sure others have too.

Haven't they said fuck uncensored on South Park in recent years?

Hey, there, shitty shitty f** f** shitty shitty f** f**, how do you do?

I wish I was gay so I could say f** and not get bleeped.

i think that has more to do with availability and fanbase growth. The networks are far more accessible now in more ways than one and original content is more important to subscribers than movies. They'd rather focus their budget on things like Game of Throwns than Real Sex.
