It seems a pretty farfetched connection since the terrorist attack had nothing to do with politicians or severed limbs, the only connection is that a bad violent thing happened in Norway.
But probably still good to take out references to violence against specific political figures regardless, and the new joke is better imo
It makes sense at the time and that is the lense you need to look at the problem through. Depending on how close the air date of the rerun was to the attack I don't blame them as people may see it in poor taste despite the joke being there before the attack.
No doubt after the 11th sep or the London tube bombarding if a show rerun aired making light of those events an uproar could happen.
