I too saw this in The Independent (and was interested, incidentally, to note that it is only the delicately reared online readers whom, the newspaper seems to have decided, need protection from naughty (sorry, 'edgy') words like 'goatfucker' - it was printed out in full in the print version).

I wondered why the paper thought we needed to be told about some obscure (I assume) American comic's feeble efforts at satire at the expense of the conventions of British public life. The usual cultural cringe, I expect - 'Isn't it wonderful that comics from the greatest nation in the world deign to notice what's going on in little old England and even crack jokes (albeit totally unfunny ones) about us? You see, there still IS a special relationship!'

Pass me the sick bag, someone.
