Popcorn

Remember that episode of Farscape where they all went to Earth? Season 4. "Terra Firma," it's called. Well, anyway, instead of donuts in the office kitchen this morning we have popcorn, and that made me think of Noranti and Rygel discovering all the wonderful Earth foods. Particularly, popcorn.

Over at the grill, Noranti holds a jar up for Rygel to see.
Noranti: "Rygel, have you tried this?"

Rygel: "Another delicacy?"

Noranti holds the jar up and pours popcorn kernels into Rygel's open mouth. They're the happiest of the crew. They're in gastro heaven.

Rygel: "What's it called?

Noranti reads off the jar: "It's called... cop porn."

While funny, I think they held back. Censored themselves. Because if Noranti confused the pronunciation of Cs and Ps, she wouldn't say "cop porn." The accurate remix of Cs and Ps in "popcorn" would have her say "cock porn." As I said, they censored themselves...

Well, they were probably just happy they got "cop porn" past the censors!
