Bleeping out innocuous dialogue just for the fun of it

Welcome to the third video in our Inappropriate Censorship series where we're forced to bleep out some of the dialogue in the original--and still fantastic--BioShock. Why are we bleeping it out?

But as you're about to see, it's a good job we have the bleep button...
