I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

South Park Season 1 Episode 7 (the episode where Cartman wears a Adolf Hitler costume for Halloween) was partially censored in Germany. Cartmans "Sieg Heil" was changed to "Wie Geil" (means "how cool"). I think the censoring there was actually funnier than the original.
Similarly, the episode titled "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" was supposed to be "An Elephant Fucks A Pig"

Parker and Stone intended to call this episode "An Elephant Fucks a Pig", but changed the title under pressure from Comedy Central.
Good. I would hate to think the elephant and the pig didn't love each other before fucking.
I always thought the "wie geil" was international for the joke to work. So that others think it's harmless... but I haven't seen it since years.
