Can they say that?
 

Just watching Simpson of Channel 4.

Groundskeeper Willy just said and I quote

'I've reviewed all of the new tractors...they're all ****e.'

At 6.25pm! That can't be right can it?

EDIT Even the org swear filter has not allowed it!

yup, the Simpsosn get away with far more than others would at times.

Re: Can they say that?
 

Probably not but it won't stop them, it's happened before numerous times. One of them made the news about a year ago:

The Simpsons: Channel 4 apologises for pre-watershed swearing (Monday 9 June 2008 15.33 BST )

they just did

I remember the first time they showed the Ramones episode (Burn's Birthday), there was a warning of bad language. Because the Ramones say "This gig ("vacuums" -Ed)." "Yeah, ("fornicate") you, Springfield." followed by "Go to ("heck" -Ed.) you old ("child born out of wedlock" -Ed.)"

Yeah - I heard that & thought the same thing (god, I'm getting old!!!).

I just assumed that they got around the American censor because the censor couldn't understand Groundskeeper Willy's accent.

What swear word is it? I am being blonde and innocent and can't work it out because of the stars........:rolleyes:

Seriously...

Re: Can they say that?
 

Funnily enough when I saw it I did think they might get a few complaints for that

Especially as they edit out so much of the tiny bit of bad language or adult themed jokes the Simpsons does have

I'm sure that most kids who go to school know all the common swear words anyway. I'm not condoning it, but words that we once considered taboo are now commonplace in everyday language.
