All the things that make us, f-ing cry

Update: YouTube had flagged this video as being inappropriate (apparently, it has a bad word in it. You may still view it, but you have to create/or sign in to a YouTube account and verify you are over 18. (Eric, 5 p.m.)

In the last 24 hours, several Internet sites and blogs have confirmed and debunked rumors that Sunday’s episode of The Family Guy contained an utterance of THE ONE WORD you cannot say on television under any circumstance.
I’m surprised more media outlets haven’t jumped on this; apparently Clinton losing his mind on Fox News is more substantial than the F-word appearing on television (hey chumps, it’s not!).
Here’s what I’ve compiled. Several users on YouTube, where a clip of the show surfaced, claim the show aired uncensored in several Canadian markets. BUT several people on the Kansas City Star blog, TV Barn, said the clip was stolen off of a satellite feed — before it was censored and aired.
Both seem plausible, but the clip does exist. I know I was watching Sunday night, and I’m 100 percent sure it did not air here (I would have noticed. In fact, I have been waiting patiently for that barrier to come crashing down, so I’ve actually been watching for it.)
I’m confident in saying it did not air anywhere in the US from a US-based station. And it’s hard to say what show will be the one to finally break the F-barrier. It will happen, and probably in the next few years.

Until them, I’ll be watching patiently.

Here's the clip again. Remember, if you are offended by foul language, do not watch this!!!
