...it was the mildly innocent "bastard," used by Krusty the Clown in "Bart the Fink."

The episode was aired at 6pm on Channel 4, completely unedited except the credits were talked over. Apparently it was human error and that they have two versions of the episode and claim to air the unedited versions post-watershed...

the only time I saw an episode of The Simpsons at night on Channel 4 was past midnight ("Weekend at Burnsie's," an episode only aired post-watershed) back in January.

Sky1 and BBC aired the censored version and I think Channel 4 used to.

More interesting The Simpsons censorship stuff.

The same thing happened back in 2004 or whenever when the same word was used on Futurama...

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

Opinions?
