I've seen this episode about few times and it's very funny. I remember I saw this episode on Paramount Comedy (now Comedy Central UK and Ireland) for the first time in 2006 and I was sixteen in that year.

I've heard that episode is banned in Japan because it was not broadcast on the Wowow satellite broadcasting network, nor released on DVD. The exact reason why is not clear, but it may be due one of these: This is not the only episode of a Western-animated series to be excluded from release in Japan. An episode of The Simpsons titled Thirty Minutes over Tokyo was pulled to due being disrespectful to the Emperor.
 * Offensive portrayals of Japan and Japanese people
 * Reaction from Nintendo of Japan
 * Reaction from right-wing Japanese groups
 * Making fun of the Emperor of Japan and the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I hope Viacom-owned Comedy Central apologised to Japan for its controversial episode.
