Why Censor DBKai the Way Nick Toons Did?

Post by TheGreatness25 » Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:09 am

While casually skipping through channels, one day I decided to leave it on Nick Toons as they were showing Fairly Odd Parents, and at 2 in the morning (or whenever it was), that was the only thing on that's tolerable. And in one episode, they used the word "kill" or "die" at least a few times. Then, I noticed on Spongebob he said, "Then I thought I was dead, but wasn't..." and it got me thinking... I understand them censoring "damn" and "hell" (though I have heard it on Nick cartoons before I could almost swear it). I can understand censoring the blood (though it doesn't stop them from showing puss and eye crust and whatnot on shows like Spongebob and Zim and Odd Parents), and I understand middle fingers... But why did DBKai get censored to the extreme that they'd water it down more than their other shows on the same program?
