...tracks on this jam-packed album, which features thirteen joke sketches and seven innocuously amusing songs, you’ve got to give Sandler a morsel of credit for releasing a somewhat offensive string of impolite tracks in this day and age of FCC crackdown and Howard Stern censorship...
...some Western minds, an elderly white-bearded figure in a black turban who is adored by the masses evokes the dark image of another Shi'ite mullah: Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini, who turned Iran into a stern, inimical Islamic theocracy.

Second of all, I like to think of my program as having a veneer of sophistication that probably inoculates us from the FCC. So I really don't think anybody at the FCC is bright enough to figure out what we're doing...
