Odd Censorship of Army of Darkness on TV

[sspadowsky]

I've got one that beats all of those.

A few years ago, I was watching Blazing Saddles on TNT or TBS or one of those useless Ted Turner stations. In the original version, one of the most-remembered scenes of that movie is when Bart (the black guy) first becomes town sheriff. He passes an old lady on the street, and the following conversation takes place:

Bart: "Good mornin', ma'am. And isn't it a lovely mornin'?"
Lady: "Up yours, ******!"

Here's how it happened in the TNT version:

Bart: "Good mornin', ma'am. And isn't it a lovely mornin'?"
Lady: "Outta my way... ******."

Good thing they took out that "up yours." That just offends me every time.
