Old-fashioned, I know. But it was on TV a couple months ago and they dubbed over or silenced all the racial slurs and a few other naughty bits. It kinda wiped out the whole point - satirizing racists. They need to be laughed at, at every available opportunity. It pisses them off so wonderfully.
At least they left "I'm Tired" intact.
