This is why I watch Japanese version of One Piece.

thats 4kids for ya.
hey, its not as bad as when comedy central censored an episode of south park that featured muhammed, and ruined a good portion of the moral-of-the-story speech kyle made at the end.

Unless they made a parody of that later, more recently (And in that case, that's the one I saw), it was pretty much intentional.
