The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took issue with the actors saying "dick" on-air and wanted to stop the sketch's screening. SNL producers came to an agreement with the FCC that the song could be aired with the word bleeped out. However, since the FCC has no jurisdiction over the content on the internet, the producers asked Ludwin to make the uncensored version available online.
The FCC protested the actors' use of a strong expletive on-air, prompting SNL producers to reach an agreement that enabled the song to be broadcast with the offending word muted. Nevertheless, since the FCC has no power over digital media, the producers asked Ludwin to distribute the uncensored version online.
