you know its not a violation of free speech. Comedy Central owns the show, they can edit it however the hell they want. Networks do this all the time to avoid dealing with FCC and media watch dogs.

The Romans were allowed to do a lot of things. Do you want to wind up like the Romans did with a crazy inbred emperor and Germanic barbarians kicking down their doors ushering in a few hundred years of Dark Ages?
