Another example of censorship is Rainman - Dustin Hoffman's famous speech about Quantas being the only airline not to have a crash is completely left out of the airline version - so you're left wondering why the brothers decide to drive across the country...
I personally got to watch "Glengarry Glen Ross" on a plane - watching this David Mamet cussfest under those restrictions is like watching a badly dubbed Hong Kong action pic - Alec Baldwin would speak whole paragraphs and the soundtrack would only say "forget you"!
If you're interested, there's a list on my website of "standards and practices" for US TV networks and what words they replace the bad ones with plus some other quick info on censorship in the "land of the free"... it's pretty hysterical if you ask me :-) it's at
