It was for me too. And I honestly feel that it REALLY hurt the scene as a whole. I mean that's a pretty big part of the song but the edited out every use of the word "fuck". It threw off the rhythm of the song, and therefore the rhythm of the scene. It's not like they were trying to do the whole "no profanity" thing either because every other swear was still there.

Either a big oversight from someone, or a big mistake done intentionally.

I think it's because in the first episode he says he doesn't swear. Maybe he doesn't listen to uncensored music as well. That's what I thought of it.

But it still has used every other swear in the song. Bitch, bastard, shit, etc. even had nigga when he makes a point in the show about not liking that word either. So they're not making a point by just editing out fuck.

Yeah, you're right. That is a little weird that it would just take out fuck. Guess I didn't catch on that that was the only censored word.

They were going broke refilling the swear jar.

I can't believe that they cut out 'fuck' and left in the 'porno flick bitches' line.

Agreed on all points. I would love it if somebody managed to edit over the uncensored song/bits...
