Differences between Canadian and U.S. censors

Huh ? South Park airs on The Comedy Network, not Teletoon. :sweat:

America is more strict and religious than Canada so I guess that's why our censorship standards are different.

YTV (the main kid channel) aired Ghost in the Shell and Death Note (which are considered adult shows). And the Detour's shows are way more crude and vulgar (but less violent) than Adult Swim's shows.
 
I've noticed differences between Canadian and US censorship as well just by the few Canadian shows I do watch. It's not a cartoon, but it airs during the day, but eh. I'm still surprised at some of the stuff I heard on The Red Green Show: it had a G rating but they would slip in sexual innuendo, the occasional "damn", "hell", "freakin'", et cetera.
 
I remember when TDI started airing here, it didn't have a lot of edits, and they said crap several times until later episodes. I think since the show got more popular, they made it more appropriate so to not start an uproar from parents.
People here think it's because CN visits our forums, and saw the stuff they slide posted up. But I seriously doubt that.
 
Mexico used to be pretty liberal with cartoons, they used to get unedited anime air on local channels and kids channels etc but over the years its become more and more conservative. They now prefer to air the edited cuts of american anime which is a shame, anime was huge in Mexico before it ever was here America and now all they do is get whatever the US is dubbing. I think American influence has caused it to be more conservative.
 
Not entirely true. Mexico has done some unedited dubs recently, but the biggest reason why they sometimes dub from the already existing English dub is simply because it's easier to dub from English than from Japanese. This is really more attributed to laziness than conservationism.
