Censorship in South Park

I have already posted my blog entry for the week (about Ambien CR and overmedication), but I came across this clip recently, and thought it was relevant.

On the subject of censorship on television (regarding the first presentation during the last class), I thought the following episode of South Park addressed the issue rather humorously:


["It Hits the Fan" Season 5 Episode 1]

In this episode, everyone makes a huge deal about how characters on a police drama will say "Sh*t" on television, while saying the word several times themselves (as shown by a ticker that keeps track of how many times it is said on the bottom right of the screen), thereby highlighting the difference between television and reality.
