According to www.bitterfilms.com, "Rejected" will not premire on Adult Swim due to censorship. Read more about it on www.bitterfilms.com

That sucks. It would of been rated TV-MA, right? That's probably too risky for AS.

Hasn't Stormy said "Jesus! He's a robot!" ?

To be more specific, it's at http://www.bitterfilms.com/forum.html under the Jan. 14th update.

And they haven't said that it WON'T show up on Adult Swim, they've said that they've postponed it for the time being due to someone saying "Sweet Jesus" It's entirely possible (and IMO likely) that CN will change their mind about this and air it eventually.

C'mon people, you should know that Adult Swim is now a program for 10 year olds. What do you expect? Them to actually air something that might be remotely targetted towards someone over the age of 12?

A lot of younger kids do like it... I think. When they released actual ratings for the block, the majority of the viewers were kids... I think.

I hope it seriously doesn't get that way, though. It's fine as of now. But Toonami edits? And because someone said "Sweet Jesus," Rejected is going to be rejected from the block? Well...

Nah.. I doubt it will turn into a place for kids. As people say, those Toonami edits are just fillers until more shows come. And Rejected might not be rejected after all.

Someone's gonna crumble. And it'll probably be Don.

Either way, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard from Adult Swim. Granted, with each month, the "adult" concept of Adult Swim becomes more and more cheap.

I fear a block that uses the word "adult" like Kids WB uses the word "toonami".

If saying "sweet jesus" would deny a show to air, then my school should fire my math teacher. She says it all the time. What was Cn thinking?

And to think some people think Eva actually has a chance on CN...

Like I've always said, regardless of whether or not God exists in the mind of the viewers, the mere mention of any religous term no matter how obscure will cause the entire population of the country to die somehow. We all know that that fad called 'religon' went away a long time ago, so why bother mentioning it on TV again?

Good lord, everytime I think it can't get worse with this channel it does.
