   Matt & Trey don't have to bleep the words since SP is aired after 10pm,   
   and Comedy Central routinely airs the uncensored movie.  Canada's idea   
   of "free speech" is to allow graphic profanity over the airwaves while   
   censoring non-profane speech that is offensive to "identifiable   
   minority groups."  I'll bet the same number of bleeped words appear in   
   the Canadian episodes, with "fuck" being audible while "dirty jew" and   
   "nigger" are bleeped out instead.
