This is a note to all those radio stations and music TV channels out there. If you feel the urge to censor a song then please, just don't play it. Don't. It's almost laughably absurd to listen to some songs where 1/3 to 1/2 the words can be censored and any meaning the song might have had is completely lost in a wash of null sound. Censors already disgust me but if a company is not willing to challenge the censors or to find a way around it (like playing the music after prime time) they just shouldn't play the music. Period.
Note to the parents: Get in touch with reality. Your desire to censor such things will have absolutely no effect on whether your children know/use the language (except, perhaps, to make them more curious). You're living in a dream world if you think otherwise.
Challenge to musicians: I would love to see a well written song designed so that, after the censorship, the remaining words form a message (ie: the song has one meaning without censorship and another meaning with). Could be anything, but obviously a political statement or comment against censorship would be most interesting.
