Whilst that particular warning is unusual it does at least help the viewer to make an informed decision as to whether they still want to watch that programme/episode. It seems like a fairly sensible compromise that usually avoids the need to edit or completely remove episodes/series. For example on iPlayer some episodes of The Young Ones contain a warning about containing 'discriminatory language'.
