Reception
Like many American films of the time, Huns and Hyphens was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut, in Reel 1, of the episode of squirting seltzer water at a man's trousers and the actions following.[1]
gollark: A few cents per base pair or something.
gollark: Printing DNA is still really expensive.
gollark: There are some "obviously good to remove" things like debilitating genetic diseases, but it's harder for other stuff.
gollark: I think children might be annoyed if you randomly remove or add traits.
gollark: Aren't there reasons for that existing?
