Watching "30 Rock" on Hulu: Why was Carrie Fisher's line changed?

In "Rosemary's Baby" (season 2, episode 4 starring Carrie Fisher as Rosemary), Rosemary describes to Liz Lemon the plot of a movie screenplay she's writing. Rosemary says, "women in their 50s join the army and get laid by a bunch of grateful 18-year-olds." This isn't the original line! (More below)
From the awkward cutaway while Carrie Fisher is speaking in this scene, it is obvious that this line has been edited. The original line that I recall, and which also appears in the subtitles, is "women in their 50s go on spring break and get laid by a bunch of grateful 18-year-olds."
I'm aware that Tina Fey pulled the "blackface" episodes from the show. And I can at least understand the reasoning behind other changes that have been made to this show (such as removing a reference to Chris Brown). I also can at least understand Hulu's desire to censor the "adult content" in shows such as Always Sunny or Family Guy (even if I don't agree with it!). But I just can't get my head around why "spring break" would be changed to "the army" on Hulu. I don't think changing "spring break" to "army" (even if it's maybe a Private Benjamin-related joke?) makes the line all that much funnier. And if you're gonna censor, why not edit the "get laid" part instead? WTF is up? Trying to understand the editing of this particular line has become a bit of an obsession for me, and Google is not helping. Any ideas? TIA! |
