South Park Question... - GoFuckYourself.com

Shaze · 01-01-2008, 07:17 AM

How can the South Park cartoon say bad words like "fuck" and "shit". Isn't that prohibited??

crockett · 01-01-2008, 07:35 AM

I never noticed them saying "fuck", but it's on after 10pm and I think because it's on the Comedy Channel it might get more leway. Commedians have always been tough on the fight for free speech.

I don't think the FCC has clear jurisdiction over cable. There are always battles going on over this.

There are like 3 or 4 episodes where the whole point of the episodes is them saying bad words, specifically "fuck".

On the week-end Comedy Central often shows movies with any editing after midnight. As someone said fater a certain time the rules are relaxed and for cable the rules are relaxed futher. I suppose the FCC could still fine Comedy Central as I'm sure they are still braking some sort of arcane "naughty word" rule, but hat usually only comes after many complaints. One would have to wonder why someone complaining was letting their child watch South Park so late at night?

I dont think they say fuck

shit is allowed

FredIsMe · 01-01-2008, 08:30 AM

Comedy Central has allowed fuck to be said.

EZRhino · 01-01-2008, 08:42 AM

I know someone who used to work for Matt and Trey and they usually get away with it by submitting the episode really late so the comedy central compliance people dont get a chance to censor it. They have been known to submit the episode with less then a few minutes before airing.

cybermike · 01-01-2008, 08:47 AM

fuck is always bleeped.. they can say shit

L-Pink · 01-01-2008, 09:01 AM

One episode there was a counter on the screen that changed each time the word shit was used.

BlackCrayon · 01-01-2008, 10:46 AM

If you're watching in canada they don't censor anything out anymore.

smutnut · 01-01-2008, 11:24 AM

Someone already said it. The FCC has limited control over cable. Thats' why hbo, showtime and everyone else gets away with it. Comedy Central is cable. As (I think) is FX which (I think) could do it and get away with it but the advertisers might protest.

Pretty much South Park is to Comedy Central what Quentin Tarentino used to be to the Weinstiens (miramax), they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

Personally I think South Park is the best written show on television

I saw someone flashing their titties on a Comedy Central standup special a few weeks back.

D Ghost · 01-01-2008, 11:28 AM

yeha no clear jurisdiction

teg0 · 01-01-2008, 11:29 AM

there is an episode where they shit shit a bunch of times, but you only hear fuck in the south park movie. I don't even think the DVDs come uncensored.

smutnut · 01-01-2008, 11:34 AM

Watch the south park Tourette's episode, you'll hear a lot more than just shit! It's one of the top five all time best

DivaShane · 01-01-2008, 11:34 AM

This thread launched a full blown discussion on the home front. As far as I know FCC doesn't regulate Comedy Central (since it's cable). If I remember right the FCC tried to bring cable and satellite companies under their control not to long ago. Any one else remember that, or am I fucking that up with some thing else?
