The Walking Dead and Censorship

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
As fans of the show know, The Walking Dead returns tonight for a new season. Last season ended with Rick and the gang locked in a mysterious train car.
This is how the scene was originally filmed

But this is what aired.

The shows airs on AMC, a basic cable station, not a premium cable station like HBO or Showtime. What language AMC allows falls somewhere in between the broadcast majors and HBO. Although there is some precedent for the use of the word on the network. (Breaking Bad: "I fucked Ted"), it's rare. I don't know who made the decision to edit the scene.
