The days when The Simpsons were daring and took risks to bypass the censors

Call me dumb but I don’t get what is there to censor so much. Is this because “Atomic Pile” is some penis reference or what?
Judas Booth
She’s holding the rod suggestively. Rod = penis

lol sounds too 34’d to me. On the same scale, Marge’s hair can also be suggestive.

Not even remotely. That calendar picture is a very direct (and obvious) joke.

This wasn’t really anything risque for 1991.

I think women and seamen don’t mix.

Then of course there was this gem:
“Look, Homer, all of us pull a few boners now and then, go off half-cocked,
make asses of ourselves. So, I don’t want to be hard on you, but I just
wish you wouldn’t curse in front of my boys”
I have always noticed this joke and I’ve never seen any reference to it in any review of the episode I’ve read. Ah, the days when The SImpsons didn’t care about the censors and were funny about it. Nowadays they don’t care but every joke such as those are tasteless.
