    You Gotta Love it when US Basic Cable Show an Uncensored Movie!

    Comedy Central has been showing 'South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut' (brilliant movie, btw) totally uncensored (after 10 o'clock, though). That means the f-word, s-word, breasts and all sorts of stuff that no other basic cable station would dare to do (even though they are legally allowed to).

    I know the other stations bleep out the curse words for 'respectability' and ratings... but don't you think more people would watch a movie on TNN if it was totally uncensored? I personally think so.

          They showed it here too. It was on the eve of GW2, so it had a little extra special meaning, and extra hilarity due to that.

            Yeah, those damned Canadians! We should have gone after them instead of Iraq .

            After seeing it again last night, I realize how damned funny that movie really was. I think I go down and get the DVD today .

              In Canada recently, almost every channel shows porn on a Friday night. It's really pissing me off. I don't want to watch that. Where are the crummy sci-fi movies (Excepting Flesh Gordon of course).

                        Some show soft core porn here late at night, but not those stations with a good reputation. Maybe you can get hardcore via pay tv here, don´t know.

                        Sexual content of normal movies or F-words are never censored here, but they cut out extreme violence on some movies, esp. when they plan to show them in the early evening (eg. one station had "Gladiator" sunday at 8 pm this spring, but a friend told they cut some of the fighting scenes).

                        Often tv stations here also display a "warning" ("this movie contents blah blah and is not recommended for people under age xy"). Sure the kids will love such hints....

                          Showcase is awesome, they play stuff like Trailer Park Boys, Oz, Curb Your Enthusiasm, to Queer as Folk and little-known gay movies.

                            In Germany you can get lots of additional channels (incl. scifi) only via pay tv (no commercial break ups there) - nothing for me

                            However, I can get ca. 40 public and private tv stations.

                              That's the main reason why most US basic cable stations don't show nudity or cursing or even excessive violence (believe it or not , they cut it out). They want to be 'respectable'. I think Comedy Central knows that isn't going to happen . I hope they switch to ALL their programing being uncensored after 10 or 11.

                              Of course premium channels (like HBO, Showtine, Cinemax, Encore) can show what they wish.
