Old-fashioned, I know. But it was on TV a couple months ago and they dubbed over or silenced all the racial slurs and a few other naughty bits. It kinda wiped out the whole point - satirizing racists. They need to be laughed at, at every available opportunity. It pisses them off so wonderfully.

At least they left "I'm Tired" intact.

The cleaned up version is blah by comparison. Perfect ending.
