Why isn't the censored 'Team America' sex scene online?
Associated Press: Political correctness put on the shelf with 'Team America'
Body parts were conspicuously absent from a puppet-sex scene that almost forced an NC-17 rating on the film - the marionettes have only a network of joints and hinges awkwardly bumping and grinding. After the scene was cut, the ratings board gave Team America an R."It's still funny," Stone said of the scene, "but nowhere near what it was. The scene itself is so funny and innocuous. It's not mean-spirited. It's not edgy. It's just what kids do. We all did that with dolls growing up."
Here's what I want to know: If Trey Parker and Matt Stone are so proud of their original marionette sex scene, why don't they put it on the Internet and screw the MPAA? Inside three days, more people will have seen it than will see it during its entire theatrical run. And the shot of online publicity would undoubtedly increase ticket sales.
Trey and Matt, your roots are calling you.

Because it's silly. All they show is the puppets crapping on themselves during sex.
