I never got why they think these are curse words. Is it a weird religious thing?

      I think a lot about the time I was at MicroCenter (sort of like a best buy) in Brooklyn, and nine inch nails Closer came on the store radio. I was like “what’s the fucking point of a radio edit of this song??”

      It wasn’t a radio exit.

      “I want to fuck you like an animal” loud and clear.

      Well done, whatever store employee probably just plugged in their phone or connected Spotify.

      The radio edit of Everlast’s “What It’s Like” is butchered to hell. “He pulled out his xxx xxx talked some xxx and wound up xxx.”

      A local radio show I used to listen to at work about 10 years would say “god damn” all the time. Back then I thought it was a sign of progress because nobody seemed to care, when maybe in the late 90s/early 00s, people would have thrown a fit hearing that.

      I listened to the same show a few weeks ago, and now they censor “god damn” among other cuss words they used to allow.
