Censorship Gone Mad
I was watching Room 101 on Virgin 1 last night and the word midget was bleeped out. I don't understand has midget become so offensive you cant say it?

Haven't you seen the first episode of South Park series 11? Some serious lessons to be learnt there.

Re: Censorship Gone Mad
The worst I've noticed recently was episodes of the Simpsons on T4. I was watching the one where Marge and Homer try to get their love life back on track but words like 'pervert' were cut. The same going for Lenny saying, 'She's got legs from here to ya-ya!' Whilst I can understand certain things being cut from the Simpsons at that time of day - Groundskeeper Willy saying 'shite', for example - I think cutting out words like 'bastard' and 'pervert' is just taking things too far.
South Park gets it much worse from MTV, though. Obviously they cut 'fag' but they're unreasonable enough to cut 'retard' and other words that, on their own, are hardly devastatingly offensive. It's more ridiculous still in South Park's case because, on top of its own disclaimer that runs before every episode, MTV adds a second disclaimer. Bearing in mind that South Park is never shown before 9pm, I think it's a complete piss-take.

It has
In that episode when there on the bomb shelter on top of Nelson Mandela House.
I cant remember the exact quote but it goes ' Theres bound to be a Paki shop open somewhere' in the bomb shelter and ends
the cut version just cuts to a still picture outside and says 'There bound to be a shop open somewhere' and ends
