Subject: Setting The Edits Straight Once And For All
I think you should've added something like, "Most of Season 4 still hasn't aired on The-N yet so this is all there is here for now"
As you'll notice, in season 1 the phrase "your attitude sucks" got edited. But now in Season 4 you can say "these ugly ass walls" "go straight to hell" "no one is doing a damn thing about it". Why? Because things have changed at The-N, the standards have broadened. They're not afraid of offending viewers.
"These ugly ass walls". That line hasn't even aired yet, you can't say the-n has allowed it.

You're correct. I did forget that Secret hasn't aired yet on the-n. However, I think the point of my article still stands. Over half of the season has aired and faced an extremely small amount of editing. Perhaps a better example than "these ugly ass walls," would have been certain lines from Back in Black, when Tyler says "pissed?", and Sean says "I thought I pissed myself." The general point is that less editing has happened so far in season 4 (which I did state). The article was attempting to explain why.
