My favorite was when I was a kid, Police Academy replaced "assholes" with "eggroles'

This is tough. There are things I find harmless, but I know they're against the "rules," out of sensitivity to viewers across America. I don't find "God damn" "Jesus Christ!" offensive, but most networks ban those terms.

Use of the n-word and other racial slurs are typically a big no-no. I feel if its in the use of an educational context, it can be done correctly.

There's also an issue with sex. Typically, two naked bodies from the waist up are okay, as long there's no nipple on the woman, but slightest amount of thrust can be a problem.

As said before, I won't go over specific titles, but keep in mind, it is a job. Lots of notes, you have to pause for every interruption and go back and re-watch, so it can take 3 hours to watch a 90 minute movie.

Funny story, I was on a long train ride once and watching a movie for work that had some questionable nudity. I'm writing down thing thing like "Side boob at 01:15.29," and "Possible pubic hair at 01.18.22" Then I realized there was a dude sitting next to me, awkwardly seeing what I was doing. I explained what I did and where I worked, and he laughed his ass off. He said for a while, he thought I was Mr. Skin.

It doesn't seem to happen too much. I know Harold and Kumar did a similar thing, and a clean screener was sent out immediately when the movie was released in order to say to the networks "See? We can give you a clean version!"
