Yeah, I read a quote on IMDB something to the effect of it being initially rated NC-17 for something like "violence, foul language, scatalogical humour and sexual acts... all involving puppets" and having the government saying it was unpatriotic and pro-terrorism, or something along those lines that you'd expect a Republican to say. They used that publicity to promote it initially, but edited it to get what Kevin Smith refers to as "those R-rating dollars" and make it available to a larger audience.
Still... the final product came out pretty damn good...
