    There’s a Monty Python sketch where someone handles a large glass container with a liquid that looked like rosé wine, no context provided.

    Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of “its’ visual depiction of menstrual urine”.

    It truly takes some twisted, fucked-up minds to find obscenity everywhere they look, projecting Satan onto everything around them, carrying Satan piggyback even into neutral zones.

      This feels like a Mitchel and Webb bit. Hell, if the censors burst into the scene carrying a big piece of blacked out cardboard to hold over the bottle, it would fit into the original Monty Python episode perfectly.
