Subject: Okay, you wankers...
Author: R FlowersDate: 10 Jun
Channel 4 has apologised for an administrative error that led to the
broadcast of the word "wankers" in an edition of The Simpsons shown last
month at 6pm.
The episode, shown on April 15, featured a cameo appearance by the pop group
U2 during which one of the band members called his colleagues "wankers".

How old is this episode? Did they "bleep" the word in the original
broadcast?
Some questions for the Brits & U.K. people here:
Also, how bad is "wankers?" Is it like something you might say in front of
your friends, but not at work... Or is it something that has been pretty
much mainstreamed, but still may cause offense to fuddy-duddies?
Oh, and what does "watershed" mean? From the article, it sounds like
America's prime-time dividing line.
