I post this little excerpt from alt.tv.simpsons via alt.censorship to
reply to the poster who said earlier in this thread that we are not really
censored in this country, because we can import things ourselves ...

Its nice to know that what I read and watch is first screened by an organization
that has the gall to call itself "The Community Protection Group".

And I thought it was safe to watch the Simpson's on a sunday night :)

I guess the would-be censors are going to have to add another group to their
hit list now !
