City Slickers is on Hallmark right now and I see that during Phil and Arlene's fight at Mitch's party, when Phil yells, "I'm sure he's home. It's his night to be with the other escaped Nazis!" the word "Nazi" is edited. What, you can't say "Nazi" on television?! I know its illegal to say "Heil Hitler" in Germany, but I never heard any rule against saying "Nazi" on television.
It all depends on which television station you're watching. It's on A&E right now and they didn't *bleep* it out or dub over it. I'm guessing it's because the Hallmark channel is a "family friendly" channel and although not overtly right-wing Christian, a lot of their programming does lean that way. Their flag-ship shows happen to be 7th Heaven, The Waltons and Little House reruns.
It's one of those stations for those people that feel their kids need to be constantly sheltered from every little thing in this world that isn't flowers, puppy dogs and Jee-Zuss-a! Bad things in life and history that might make them see that everything is not perfect and might make them ask questions are suppressed to the point of being totally ridiculous.
My ex-sister-in-law was a Jehovah's Witness and they emphatically denied that the holocaust or slavery of any sort ever happened. She had my nephew pulled out of school when they tried to teach him history. Once he was home schooled it got even worse. TV time was limited to the Hallmark channel and gospel tv shows, any other stations, especially news stations, were strictly forbidden.
So yeah, A&E did *bleep* out the usual curse words, but unlike the Hallmark channel, didn't take it to the extreme.

And M*A*S*H.

And that's why so many kids grow up confused and learn about things on the streets, which happen to be the WRONG ways.

People like those are simply insane.

The Westboro Baptist Church is a prime example of such insanity. Yes they are and they arent even a "Church" They are a Cult
"I LOVE ZEBRA'S"
Well, all "religions" are basically cults. The only real difference between an organized religion and what we think of as a "cult" is the number of members and official recognition (establishment) and legal protection.
Even Christianity was considered a cult in it's early years and was known as the "Christ Cult". The perceived turning point from "cult" to "religion" for Christianity was the Roman emperor Contantine's so called "conversion" making it an established religion.

That's very strange considering Jehovah's Witnesses were mercifully persecuted (along with everyone else) in Nazi Germany. Isn't denying that it happened doing more harm than good?
Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space 'cos its bugger all down here on Earth.
Oh it absolutely does more harm than good, but convincing someone that is stolidly convinced otherwise is often a futile effort. Especially when that person has those ideas drilled into their heads from birth.

Now, I believe in the sanctity of childhood innocence but, the world has to come out and play at some point.
I buy my nephew adult things all the time:
Stephen King books (King's got a dirty mouth)
A pistol.
Knives.
Mags about said guns and knives.
He follows politics.
...and he's now 11.
He's learned that the "F" word isn't so funny to just throw around and won't use curse words "just because he can" - because they're old news.
He's not afraid of guns.
He's not afraid of knives.
He is afraid of Obama and his administration's outlook for the U.S., though.

You got a point there. It seems many of our police departments and prisons are practicing some Nazi tactics.
yeah I notice Hallmark just mutes words in shows like Frasier and such
watching City Slickers on The Hub a kids channel and they let him say Nazi
This is Miami Pal, but lately its starting to look a lot like Disney Land!
