"How Did This Get Past the Censors?" Thread
COOM
Something something hand something something bush.

It happened in Heffer's dream, so it's not canon
I remember someone telling me the story that they brought all this shit to the censors and the chick at the time was dumb as a rock and said to them "I know what you're doing here....these trees look like pot leaves" and the creators were like "...yeah you got us, well change it"
This. Standards and Practices are aren't really codified beyond really obvious shit like graphic sex and violence. It's up to the interpretations of the S&P execs who are usually lawyers, not writers. Many, many TV show creators have anecdotes about trying to slip stuff past S&P, or getting notes about stuff that wasn't meant to be risque but completely ignoring stuff that was.
I have never heard anyone use "chokey" in that context.
