Daily Llama - NEWS 2006_03_08 - PBS Airs Non-Naughty Version of [Eric Idle's] Personal Best: from Eric Idle:
One small item of interest, in order to show my Personal Best in Prime Time on PBS we have been asked to remove Sit On My Face and Tell Me That You Love Me an excerpt from the Hollywood Bowl. This is because of the pressure on PBS from the FCC and their somewhat random fines and involves each station in self censorship to avoid the risk of this.

Readers of PythOnline will know what I feel about the FCC (see the FCC Song). PBS will carry a warning that the show has been altered for Broadcast and that the "Naughty version: is available on DVD." This will not affect the transmission of the show in other countries of the world. Only in the US where free speech is guarranteed to all...
