I don’t give a fook, so here we go!"
'Ho' was censored, but 'fook' was not.
And apparently it is perfectly ok to dance like a ho at work parties, with your bosses!!! (My eyes!)
Well, 'Ho' is one of the most common family names in Hong Kong. It would be pretty difficult to censor it.
Watchu talkin' about Willis?

A lot of the censoring in Singers was to avoid moral outrage, to promote harmony and avoid the various races / religions having some self righteous indignation leading to unrest.
And right on cue, here's a BBC survey on different Nations' perceptions of the importance of press freedom.
