In the day they edit it out, and quite often at night. A lot of music channels, like Kerrang, have X-Rated hours, where they show all videos unedited.

well, mtv are hypocrits (big ones), but mtv us & mtv europe is not the same, while mtv us is just bloated crap music tv with ammount of fixation of sex with ammounts of bleeping & censoring, mtv europe is just like videos all the fucking time with some dodgy own produced shows mixed with crap shows from the us, mtv europe has shown many videos without censoring & bleeping after 9-10 in the evening, mtv europe has also shown videos that mtv us would never show on regular primetime. mtv chooses to censor videos & songs just because of the fact that children can see it, i mean

Yeah. Generally speaking television in the US is a lot more censored than that of Europe. You would never spot breasts on a commercial here, whereas, Norway I have seen it many times. One time, really late at night, I saw "Smack My Bitch Up" on MTV here in the states. That kind of thing is uber rare and I was pretty shocked to see it on a non-movie channel. Shocked, but pretty pleased, to be honest.

I don't know if any of you know it but Channel [V] in Australia shows clips all the time with swearing, in the middle of the day (afternoon). That's definitely cool. Still, most radio stations bleep out swear words on the radio, and MTV beeps out swearing as well.
That doesn't really effect me much anyway because i only ever watch Music channels at night (for the shows) or very late on the weekend when they have the dance music shows. Electronica doesn't have swearing (mostly)

its called the "FCC" administration. u cant swear in music thats on the radio or tv. large tv networks cant have any programming with swearing in it, they make the movie ratings "G, PG, PG13, R, X", they make the "Parental Advisory" on the CD labels, and rate all video games.
u cant see naked people either. they only show shoulders or a big fuzzy thing over their parts.
its gay, we know.
