When I was growing up, they'd show a censored version of Blazing Saddles on CBS that cut every possible sexual or scatological reference, but left every instance of the N-word intact.
I suppose with changing times that version doesn't get shown anymore, but as much as that saddens me, sadder still is the fact that there are two generations of folks who have no concept of Strange Brew, and therefore do not believe that "hork" is an actual word.
