Idk, but it's dumb. They might as well censor it all

Because "hole" insinuates that you're talking about an explicit body part.

What? They're both there…

EDIT: Oh, you're talking about actual censors, not ATRL…

Because it's kinda vulgar.

Asshole

It doesn't censor it when I type it tho. Hmm.

Edit -- oh. I've never noticed it on TV/radio.

They don't usually censor things that can have 2 meanings.
Ass can mean Donkey

Hole can mean a hole in the ground though. Not just a hole in someone's butt.

Good point.
Edit: or maybe Asshole is just a bad example since it can be divided in 2 words. They just censor one of them

Where do you live? Either I've never noticed or they don't censor it that way here in the states.

Watch Chelsea Lately…

Homophobia

AZ they most certainly do censor "hole" on MTV

Can you guys please use warnings tags when using the h word. It's very uncomfortable.

I don't know, it's almost as if US censorship laws are arbitrary and inconsistent or something.

There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It's a **** in the wall, it's a dirty free-for-all

I noticed they censor it this way on South Park and that's where it started to bug me. Like, with the words ass and hole, it's the word ass that would be considered a curse word so shouldn't it be ***hole if they're going to insist on censoring one of the words?
