Ferguson has been on a cussing tear of late, whether or not his hand's up a bunny. To compensate, apparently puppets and guests now get the swear flag treatment - where various flags obscure their mouths and a Ferguson soundbite in the corresponding language covers the sound.
David ________________________________ From: David Lynch <[email protected]> Wasn't there a thread on here a while back about how CC aired TDS unbleeped at 1 AM for a while, then stopped again? Last I knew, they were also airing uncensored stand-up and/or movies late on Friday and Saturday nights. I think I first discovered it when I was flipping channels and discovered Chris Rock dropping several F-bombs in the course of a single sentence. (Slightly off-topic: According to a co-worker who was at a Colbert taping that had TDS piped in live from the other studio, Stewart's even more potty-mouthed during the breaks than he is during the show.)
