Meh, most of the jokes on the regular AS comedy are so obscure that people don't get them either, this'll be no different.

But the guys at Homestar Runner have said they don't ever want to be on TV ... they like having their little web format.
Meanwhile, I think some people will like SMC just fine. After all, a lot of the humor on the homegrown AS shows is totally random and makes no sense; those who don't get the cultural in-jokes of Milk-chan will just shrug, assume that it's random silliness, and laugh anyway.

When they show Metropolis I can pretty much guarentee that nothing will be cut. (except maybe a quick shot on a dark wall that says F**k Robots but it's hard to see) What I'm really concerned about is if their going to be airing the TV formatted version. I really hope they don't. They didn't for Char's Counter Attack so here's hoping.

Cartoon Network sure has a strong line-up this year. I'm just amazed at all the programs they have: Gits, Wolf's Rain, FMA, Read or Die, Super Milk Chan... The list goes on!
Anyways, I don't know how the heck they'll be able to show the american version on TV. It's as bad as (if not worse than) south park! Maybe in the future they'll show them but I thought it was pretty bad (bad in a censor's perspective, I found both versions very entertaining).
I think it is cool though that comedy anime is being recognized. Maybe this'll mean well see other gag series from japan on AS comedy!

They've been good at catching writing on walls. In Gundam 0080 the word "fu#k" is written in on an alley wall. The TV even crops off the "CK" (you could see it on a computer though. TV has overscan which cuts off the edge of a picture). They still managed to catch it and erase it.
They'll air whatever the distributor sends them in terms of ratio.

[i]"Even in person the ADV VA's complained in person how horrible the straight dub of SMC is compared to the Americanized live-action version."[/i]
Just who specifically "in person" (which you mentioned twice) of the ADV voice actors said it's horrible,and where they said it; and define how "straight dub" and "American live-actioned verson" differ, since they essentially sound like the same thing?

Congrats, you win the "Most Asinine Post of the Day" award.
How in the heck do you go from "laughing at randomness" to "Williams Street is turning America into racists!"?
