Oh I remeber this episode, it was rather disturbing. It's a shame that many fans who can't buy the DVDs may not get to see it, but if YTV can't air it and take any chances, it's their call. If they did get in trouble, it would do more harm than just missing an episode. YTV doesn't want any legal trouble, and that's perfectly reasonable.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in. From time to time our Programming Department will exercise the option to reserve an episode of a series for an airtime that they feel would be more appropriate for that particular episode. So, although YTV didn’t air episode 10 of Ghost in the Shell in sequence, we will be airing as part of an upcoming special b2b marathon. Don’t miss the Ghost in the Shell b2b marathon on Friday night, December 30 starting at 12am E/P! 12am… episode 4 Interceptor 12:30am… episode 5 Decoy 1am… episode 6 Meme 1:30am… episode 10 Jungle Cruise We hope you’ll be tuning in! Regards, YTV Viewer Relations Department Please remember all schedules are subject to change without notice. I'm glad they came through for us in the end, and assuming that the episode airs without any edits, I'm incredibly thankful. Although this doesn't bode well at all for 2nd GiG... I really hope some higher-ups at Corus can convince Teletoon to air it. Otherwise we can look forward to a disaster of Farscape proportions. |

LOL, I just love that little disclaimer that was put at the end of the letter. Makes you wonder if it really will be shown. "JUNGLE CRUISE" also has swears and nudity in it so YTV will have to edit it anyway. Still, it'd be nice if they did air the murder scenes as they did on [AS]. |

They wouldn't have to censor the swearing and nudity. It's nothing worse than what they've shown before...

Then that'd be very different from the American way of editing. The "big" swears and nudity are out the door no matter what. Still, if they can show nudity and swears on YTV, then that makes no sense why they wouldn't show "JUNGLE CRUISE" in the first place. Just tack on the warning at the beginning. Seems kind of silly to me. I suppose we're not dealing with a network that makes much sense though.

what is the point of edditing the language and nudity now, since they are airing it at 1 30. it is rare to see a kid even watching tv at this time.

Canada doesn't tend to censor swear words in adult programming as much as the US. For a good example, if you watch "The Osbornes" on MTV, the entire thing is nothing but bleeps, but if you watch it on Canada's MuchMusic, none of the swearing is bleeped out.
