Yea, you're right. Here's the Parkers' comments on that extended scene. It seems the filmed the pee and poop footage to distract the MPAA away from what they really wanted in the film.:
Q. I thought you weren't going to put the pee and poop back?
MATT STONE: We actually thought about not doing it but at the end of the day, I thought it was just really funny. The original thought was not to put it back.
TREY PARKER: Because we had our version of the sex scene, right? And we loved it and it was about two, a little over two minutes long. We were like, 'Oh, this is so great' and I had written a song to go with it and I was just like, 'If the MPAA hacks this up, they're going to hack this to nothing.' So we said let's think of two shots… We'll go shoot two new shots just for the MPAA to cut out… We got everyone on the crew together and I said, 'Hey, everyone. We're going to go do these couple of shots right now. Don't worry, they won't be in the movie. Don't get bummed out because this is really gross, but it won't be in the movie. This is for the MPAA.' Everyone got it immediately, what we were doing. So we did those two shots and of course everybody thought they were super funny when we were doing them. Then we put them in and they were like, 'Okay, send it off to the MPAA,' which is basically, that's what this DVD is. We should have called this DVD the MPAA version. That's what we should have called it because this is the version that first went to the MPAA.
STONE: So the movie is dirtier because of the MPAA.
PARKER: Because we would have never even shot those shots if it weren't for the MPAA. So we sent it off to the MPAA, but they knew us well enough by then that they were basically like, 'You're taking that out and we're cutting out half the sex scene anyway.'
STONE: The MPAA building, they have people scouting for us a mile away. We have no friends at the MPAA.
PARKER: So they did, they hacked this thing. They also made us take out other shots that were just other random positions. And then they made us take out; every shot that we had in there, they made us cut almost to one second apiece or whatever. It just made it feel like the sex scene wasn't a well paced scene and it wasn't what we intended. So when we were going to do the DVD, we're like, 'All right, do we put out our version or do we put out the version that we intended it to be or do we put those two shots in too?' And Matt and I actually totally disagreed for a while about what to do. Matt wanted to put them in and I didn't want to put them in. And then finally, we were making this decision at four in the morning on a South Park night which is a Tuesday night when we're finishing our last South Park before vacation. And I think finally I was like, 'All right, I'm tired.'
STONE: I think Trey just said, beep it.'
PARKER: And now they're in there.
