That brightened my day considerably. When I watch Misfits (UK show) they say some things that I never hear on American shows. It only happens on shows that are after the watershed[1] though. Before then I don't know which parts are censored. It always amuses me a little how Americans seem to be more strict than the Europeans for media censoring. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_(television) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_(television)
