Not Another Case of Censorship
I'm watching 'Not Another Teen Movie' (one of my guilty pleasure favorites) on Comedy Central right now, and they are butchering it by blanking out any off color line or phrase. They aren't cutting the entire scene, so you just get the occasional moment where the audio drops out and you're forced to use your imagination to fill in the gaps. Having seen the movie on DVD, I know what is being cut, but it must be frustrating for people seeing the movie for the first time to just have the soundtrack go silent from time to time. I've heard much worse things on South Park, so I don't know what merits censorship in the eyes of the powers that be at Comedy Central.

It is also bothersome watching a movie that you have seen previously that has been edited with other words and you remember the original and it throws you out of the experience.
Wonder if Comedy Central was using a version previously edited by another commercial network. Does each channel edit individually or are there edited versions out there? Just wondering...
They might have been screening the airplane version. Airlines have special versions that are edited for language, sex, etc.....
