Nope. Completely uncensored I believe.

It's a first for comedy central. Working at Dish Network they actually sent out a script we're supposed to read if someone calls up and complains about the uncensoredness.

Can you post some of what it says? I'm curious to know what they tell people.

Doesn't that break some of the FCC regulations? And is the FCC even a real organization or did I just make that up?

I don't remember it off the top of my head, just call 800-333-dish and complain that you saw the SP movie on comedy central and they were swearing. They've got a whole script set up that they'll read to you. It basically says "your stupid, stop being so controlling, and if you're concerned about your kids seeing this don't let them watch"

i was just watching it and they dropped the F-bomb 3 times came here to post about it i got beat to the punch.

Negative... regulations are only for over the air broadcasts. Anything on cable is good to go. It's just been an unspoken rule that basic cable has censored themselves though, but as always, comedy central is raising the bar just a bit higher

 

[ThaGrandCow]

And yes, it's *confirmed*
Big Gay Al's pee-pee was definitely just flopping around on screen totally uncensored...
<sigh>
Just as I turned to the channel too

 

[Encryptic]

Right on Comedy Central!

Is this becoming a new trend? My wife said she watched Bachelor Party on FX the other night and they showed the uncut DVD version, including boobies, language, etc. Speaking of which, I think it just came on again....

cable doesn't have to be censored

When was the last time you saw something uncut on a "regular" cable channel like Comedy Central? If you didn't have to censor stuff, wouldn't there be more gratuitous violence, nudity, etc. on cable?

Look it up if you don't believe me... they don't because they would lose ratings and support. Most everyone has cable now, and that's why they do it, so they keep their customers

 

[Stojakapimp]

So are you telling me that we may see a new trend of uncensored television on cable tv? Like nudity?

Just imagine what the Man Show could do.

If only the man show as still on (Excluding rer-runs)

Wow. You poor, poor Americans. Wow.

Us Canucks get censorship but it doesn't usually butcher movies. Late night pr0n is all over the damn place...Showcase!!!

Just cable.

Oh, and on prime time Osbournes only has the finger and fvck censored everything else is fine

 

[Stojakapimp]

Yeah, I just got back from Italy and they are pretty liberal with their nudity as well. Not to say that it is shown like everywher, but it's no surprise to be driving down the highway and see some billboard with nudity on it.

FCC page regarding obscene and indecent material

Wow, you poor, poor canadians... you should see the TV in Japan or France. Makes what you show all the time on TV look like super-conservative religious programming
