I would say that it's not an example, but not necessarily for the reason given. Getting Crap Past the Radar is about sneaking something potentially objectionable past whoever would have objected to it. This involves no sneaking; anybody who's going to object to a character saying "Oh my God!" can clearly see that here is a character saying "Oh my God!".

The reason for cutting is terrible, because Christianity is not the only monotheistic religion out there. That said, it's a classic case of not knowing where the radar is - when Sonic Heroes was made, you could say that in an E-rated game. It got past the radar because the radar doesn't care about it.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

"Oh my God" is not considered obscene or offensive except by the most extreme Bluenose Bowdlerizers. As a rule of thumb, the word "God" will never, ever be an example of Getting Crap Past the Radar.

Rhymes with "Protracted."
