Dumb Censorship

Probably one of the dumbest uses of censorship in a song I have ever heard is from a Panic! at the Disco song (mind you that can barely be called "music"). There is a ling before the chorus in radio edits that goes "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the *bleep*damn door?" The bleep is for the word "god". Im sure everyone else would have expected "damn" to be censored on public radio around its primetimes but it is not.

It just seems that the emphasis on censorship is giving the wrong message to people, or at least it did for me. Should I be more wary of using God's name in vain or be more liberal with my curse words? A simple solution would be to bleep out the whole word. At least that shows some proper censorship guideline.

So what do you think? Is it fine the way it is or should the censorship be stricter?

What the *bleep* is in my music?

The only thing that irks me about llisteneing to music on the radio is the random bleeps in a song due to obscenities. I like listening to an unedited version of a song because it was meant to be heard that way. Censorship on a radio station is understandable but sometimes it goes too far. Bleeps now consist of muting out references to religion, race and politics.

I will comment on this Issue some more later and give some examples.
