...I think that was mentioned as resoning for a few pulled scenes in the films, but in the end Kevin and co. decided what stayed based on what THEY liked to keep in the film...in the commentaries, you'll notice quite often scenes in all the films are pointed out that studio execs or test audiences didn't like or "get" at all ended up staying in the films, so I think these films are some rare cases where the filmmaker's real and true "vision" ended up on the screen...and come on, hardly anything was pulled because of the censors...maybe a few "extreme" uses of vulgarity and one particuarly unfunny and pointless canine cock cameo were pulled to tone down to an "R" rating...I mean, the "unedited" versions of the "Pie" films and "Road Trip" are hardly different from the relased versions of the films and really add nothing to the picture except to detract from the finalized "flow" of the film and leave viewers going "wha-?"
