The 2016 presidential race is already saltier than normal, thanks mostly to Donald Trump. But Trump's copious insults are safe for work and family-friendly publications. In this week's installment of "Unnecessary Censorship," Jimmy Kimmel Live uses its well-placed [bleeps] to make Trump's bragging, Ted Cruz's thoughts on political correctness, the Jeb Bush campaign's plans, and a fan of President Obama all sound more vulgar than they were. It's a long way until the first vote is cast, so a hat-tip to Team Kimmel for making the ride that much more enjoyable. Peter Weber
