It's Disney. Of course they'll edit it. The same company is automatically giving any movie with smoking an R rating. Let's just not pay attention to them.

Exactly. What happened to a time when official 'dignitaries' of government paid more attention to matters of genuine import and the phrase 'beneath contempt' had some operative validity? I mean, these are fuckin' sitcom writers, not public policymakers whose alleged racism [snort] might have any adverse impact on the rights and treatment of people of color [double snort].

Goes to show you that censorship in a society (and I'm not just talking TV sitcoms) is not strictly the policy of fascist and communist governments. What happens more often than not, nowadays, is self-censorship. I mean, how many times have I thought of saying something in a daily situation (often a joke or snide remark), and curbed my tongue voluntarily for fear of my words being misinterpreted as racism or sexual harassment?

This bugs me in the same way I'm bugged when someone quotes Shakespeare and doesn't put it in context with the character speaking the line.

One time, a patron at my live theatre complained to me that an actor in our 21st century drama had bad grammar. I said, "Perhaps that was the writer's intent." I kind of think her whole world was rocked.

Anyway, fuck ABC and Disney for not defending their artists.

I always thought the show should have been titled "Desperate Housechimps."

Fuck, I like that show, in fact that whole scene was genius.

Shouldn't television and film be an expression of reality? I hate the show, but I bet their are Americans, or Canadians who belive that the Phillipines have shitty med schools. This is just another example of the PC bullshit reeking havoc on society.

ahh the mind numbing and dumbing down of society due to media and the who PC crap I cant wait for the day that everything swings back and ppl begin shooting this wankers who are turning everyone in to brainless pussies.

Personally, I can't wait for the day that people bashing PCness learn how to use punctuation and the correct usage of the term "There".

lol, I thought that was really funny. Either way, who cares?

Is DH still on the air? I've never watched more than a few minutes of it since it began. Disney is good at taking the "tit" out of "titillation", despite all the hype that precedes each show.

wait, you mean they *don't* have crappy med schools in the Philippines ?

All jokes aside... it's true, what happened of the good days when we could make fun of anyone and have people actually understand it's a joke ? Or perhaps that never existed and we just pretended... either way, it's a tv show, who cares... it's not like it was some serious thing !

I saw this on the news last night... I really thought the "joke" was more about people getting fake degrees from off shore schools that don't really exist. Either way, it wasn't funny.... not because it offended me, but because it just wasn't funny.

I have been to the Phillippines enough said.

You can call them many things, but "artists", even using the loosest definition of the word (which would define "Fiddy" as an artist), they are not.

wait...they didn't poke fun at Filipinos...they made a jab at their questionable medical degrees...that's a huge difference...furthermore, I thought Teri Hatcher was dead in the show (Or is this some sort of flashback and we get to find out that the reason she's dead is because some schmuck who couldn't get into American Med school went to the Philippines for his degree?)
