Yeah, that's their "released" version. There's another version Youtube that isn't sensored.

I hope they did it on purpose because it's the opposite of what US censors normally do. They let horrible violence slip through but freak out over sex all of the time.

Which would make sense, considering the pole dancing gay Abraham Lincolns and the pepper mill dildo.

Well if they did do it on purpose to provoke the role of censorship and it's purpose, I must say, they've done a good job.

Well, for the radio, they replaced the lyrics with "Let's do an edit!  Do a radio edit!"

Which is three kinds of awesome.

What the fuck. I never heard that song on the radio when it came out. I've loved the band ever since they kind of combat rolled onto the scene and then faded into relative obscurity as far as I can tell. Yeah, they've put out a couple of albums since but no one really cares about 'em. Either way, I feel robbed that they never played that song on any of the stations I get around here. Bull-shit.  :argh!:

They also did it because it was being released around the time of the Iraq war buildup.
