If I'm not miss remembering, the reason they did it was because the fine for swearing was only 500$ so they asked comedy Central for a half million to make the episode and had it approved. The fact that people still discuss it seems to indicate it was a good investment. They got a billion dollar deal a few years back. Half a million is nothing compared to that kind of success.

I have a fun fact about the French dubbing team of South Park : when they started dubbing it, they received the uncensored version and bakc the artistic director of the dubbing studio was a very old lady. They where worried "Can we say assfucking on TV ?" The old lady answered "there is nothing against it... so make it worse" The French version is WAYYYY more vulgar than the american one and it's perfect
