it's funny how fucked up and anal retentive the abc censors are.

to make a long story short...

-- jimmy kimmel show.
-- trophy in the style of giving someone the bird.
-- abc censors decides that this won't do.
-- adds extra finger, making peace sign.
-- one of the guest breaks off said extra finger.
-- abc inserts graphic.
-- jimmy uses middle finger of the trophy to pick his nose,
-- abc removes graphic.
-- jimmy removes said finger from his nose,
-- abc re-inserts graphic.
-- jimmy goes to commerical.

this happened at 1:30 in the morning. who the hell are you going to offend at 1:30 in the morning? anyone saying up to watch jimmy kimmel at 1:30 in the morning, is not going to be offended by the middle finger.

what's more offensive is the fact that there's so much censorship on american television.
