When I was in Utah I heard a very non threatening Offspring song (get a job) in Seattle they play the whole song
In Utah the edit out “Bitch” and “Dick”
Magnificent to behold - Greatly to be praised.
Another Offspring song, “The Kid’s Aren’t Alright” was edited on MTV. The character in the video blows out a lungful of smoke as the line states: “. . .stays at home, smokes a lot of pot” but “Pot” is bleeped out. I found this oddly disturbing. I guess they thought leaving it in would encourage drug use.

On a recent “Frontline” on PBS, I believe the topic was how syphilis became rampant in a community because of sexually promiscuous teenagers. Some girls sang some (rap?) song which included the word “fuck” and I think also “cunt”. Not bleeped out.
To poppyp,
There was an absolutely hilarious, rolling on the floor dying laughing episode of the Drew Carey Show some time ago (last season?, season before last? I forget) in which Drew Carey engaged in a continuous and unabated farting spree in a promotional video which starred himself and was shown to a board of directors meeting at the company he works for. (All this was of course a complete surprise to Drew Carey as he was presenting the video to the directors–his co-workers set him up). I never would have thunk that farting could be so funny on TV (of course, I am very hoity-toity and would never knowingly watch such a thing). Anyway, the farting ground has been broken in a very big way on TV a couple years ago. Been there, done that.
Up here in Toronto, Q107 plays the fully uncut and unedditted version of Everlasts’ masterpiece “What It’s Like” including shit, death drugs, etc… all sorts of profanity, whereas 102.1 The Edge edits everything noted in the above post

Two questions regarding the original list of seven… IIRC Howard Stern’s movie made mention of the “Seven dirty words” as if they were an official FCC guideline. Is this true? Regardless, I was always amused that they added a specific no-no for “motherfucker”. If “fuck” is a dirty word, doesn’t that preclude “motherfucker”, “pianofucker”, “fuckzilla” or any other combination thereof?

John Stewart used the word tits in a recent episode of The Daily Show.
I allways thought it was funny how when someone says “god-damn” they bleep out the god part.
seems like this has pretty much been covered awhile back…
