Dumb question, but why not sidestep the problem of "unairable" content by uploading the affected episodes (unedited/unblurred/etc.) to their YouTube channel? They've done it before (the Jim Hess episode of PYL, for one).

Because, I think, they likely don’t want to be associated with the content at all — whether on their YouTube or on the channel. The “M”-word isn’t bleeped on network tv by default; they likely aren’t trying to appease super strict advertisers; it’s likely the content itself, not the method by which they share it, that they’re trying to avoid having their brand on.

Muting is one thing. Surgery is something else (not only do they have to mute the word [up to several times depending on how long it took to solve the puzzle], but blur it too). :)

So the Sicilian moment on PW+ turned up to 11.

Honestly, I think this is the best way to go about things. Just add a disclaimer noting it's a product of its' time, like the disclaimer on the WB cartoon sets. That way the people who truly want to see it can see it, while the casual Buzzr-watching public don't have to. Everybody wins.
ChrisLambert!:
And exactly how many people “truly want to see” one particular episode of Body Language? It’s not worth the effort.
