Cantilever. Great c word. As is wave.

I don't understand why they have to bleep "ass" when I've heard "bastard", "frig" and "shit" all in one late afternoon Radio 4 play, just in time for the kids to listen to on the way home from school.
Last year I nearly crashed the car after flicking the radio on and hearing an adaptation of Lady Chatterley on Radio 4, with the good Lady going on about her "juicy c**t". I mean it was after 9pm but I thought that was a bit much.
It seems ruder coming out the radio somehow. I listened to the rest though.... ;-)
I remember Mark & Lard used to slip in loads of swear words, it was fun-nee.
I remember seeing a channel 4 programme, at about 10:30 one morning, which showed two gay men looking at vibrators in a shop. I couldn't help thinking it was the very fact that they were gay, that allowed them to get away with it. We've come full circle, i.e. where once gay men would never have even got on T.V., no matter what the time of day was, now, T.V. people are often too scared to censor gay people, for fear of being branded homophobic.
The same thing has happened with matters concerning race. Speaking as a long-time fan of Hip hop music (the good stuff, that you'll never hear Radio 1 play - even that idiot Tim Westwood doesn't play it), I remember how only the most unthreatening of black Rappers used to stand a chance of getting their music anywhere near the charts, back in the '80s and '90s, and often, they'd only make it by writing a love song (think L.L. Cool J's 'I Need Love', Heavy-D and the Boyz' 'Now That We've found Love', or A Tribe Called Quest's 'Bonita Applebum'). Then, in the late '90s, that all started to change, and now, the majority of Rap songs that you hear on the radio are filled with dubbed out swearing, and references to violence, guns, pimps and prostitutes, etc (undubbed, or "dirty" versions are obviously available on CD singles, as well as the albums they appear on). The worst example had to be the song 'Ante Up', by the group M.O.P., which got into the British Top 10, a few years back, which featured lyrics about kidnapping someone, tying him to a chair, and pistol-whipping him! The crazy thing is, some of these Rappers don't even want to rap about those things, but their labels tell them to, because that's the type of stuff that sells (mainly to spotty teenage boys). It's just crazy.

Heh, good one =)
I wish US radio and TV could be as rude as in the UK. We apparently have virgin ears.
catskillz, much of your post can simply be summed up by saying that the music industry is, was, and forever will be, full of wankers.
Bring back racism!
I've forgotten which comedy it is, but one of the producers of whatever show it is said they deliberately add extra beeps in because it makes it funnier than whatever the real word is.
Talking of bleeping, a while back Scott Mills demonstrated that adding beeps to any innocent conversation can completely change its meaning: Listen (1 minute long)

You should watch Phil and Fern in the mornings (maybe you were!) They'll talk about all sorts. Bloody filth! Gay, straight, whatever.
Does Phil get out his gopher?
