So much for God and country, at least during some in-flight showings of the Oscar-nominated movie "The Queen."
All mentions of God are bleeped out of a version of the film distributed to Delta and some other airlines. Jeff Klein, president of Jaguar Distribution, the Studio City, Calif., company that supplied the movie to the airlines earlier this month, said it was a mistake, committed by an overzealous and inexperienced employee who had been told to edit out all profanities and blasphemies.
"A reference to God is not taboo in any culture that I know of," Klein said.
Oh, we can think of one where it is.
(Catch this classic line: “Robert Acton, a Whitby resident and contractor, asked councillors to consider the interests of their constituents and not the "moral majority" lobbying to uphold the prayer tradition.”)

Maybe he was Jewish, and just so used to writing G-d that he thought he should audibly hyphenate H-s name as well.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt ...
