Right now I'm baking the video of me badly making an omelette - and instead, making scrambled eggs with cheese - which will take about 35 minutes for Windows Movie Maker to render, so I'll mention something I've never seen before on TV, at least in a commercial.

Note that because of the safe harbor rule, at 1:30 in the morning it would actually have been legal to run this on regular broadcast TV but I don't think they would have shown it.

I had Futurama on Comedy Central on because the jokes are sometimes funny. Make that "often funny."

I was busy editing this video I have promised all of you and I heard an ad for some movie, I think it was called "Princess" [Update 2011-04-07] the movie is called "Your Highness" [End Update] and I heard a guy say something that I thought he said, "That looks like a penis" so I stopped to notice, and I thought I heard him say "fuck" but they never do that in a commercial. So this time I stopped to watch the rest of it, and this woman, clear as a bell, is chewing out a guy, and says, "don't fucking go there."

And it's definitely an advertisement, for a movie, which (obviously) is rated R. Usually they'll only be able to run a trailer like this in a theatre, but it was different.

I've never heard them use the word "fuck" in a television advertisment before. It's a cable channel so they can actually run this at any time, the FCC doesn't restrict cable channels, and a TV station could, if they wanted to, legally run it between midnight and 5 am. (FCC "safe harbor" rules because kids aren't usually up at those hours.)

But it surprised me because usually they don't run ads like that. Not that I'm complaining, I just found it was different.

When they re-ran Jon Stewart however (which was after Futurama, about 2AM), when he said "shit" and "fuck" they bleeeped him out!

My bad omelette video is only 40% done and still has 20 minutes to bake before it's cooked. (The video, not the omelette; I made the omelette more than a month ago.)

I found the restricted trailer here. The movie is called "Your Highness"

There are two, the short trailer (this is one that they actually broadcast) and the longer trailer. It's clearly a parody of Lord of the Rings and it actually looks hilarious.

I can't cut in a clip here because it's running off their server, not off YouTube. (Coincidently I went to YouTube to look and there was an ad for the movie. There is a video on YouTube but it's basically the longer trailer but has been "edited for television", it isn't the shorter uncensored one I noticed on Comedy Central).

Also, there's something weird, YouTube is locking me out of posting a comment on the video, it keeps giving me "Error, try again" and won't allow me to post a comment. I think because I'm trying to let people know about the uncensored version of the trailer that the comment system for this video is protected against mentioning the website.

The studio's website has an age verification system, you have to show you're over 18. It mentions they check drivers' licenses, so you can't lie to them, but if you can think of someone else's name, zip code and birth date you could probably give that if you don't want to give yours.

Basically if you can find a major politician you can find out their birthdate so all you'd need is the zip code where they live.

I looked it up on Wikipedia once. One of the governors of the United States has the exact same birthdate as me.
