it also seems to vary by times. i know i have heard times when suggestive lyrics (in the case that stood out to me rhianna's "rude boy") where it was censored during the morning commute, but was played straight when i was commuting home on the exact same station. similarly the alternate term for a female dog(which is bleeped here) was inconsistent. sometimes i'd hear one song where they let it go, and the very next song it would be altered. i was also amused that the "sublime" song "Santeria"(which discusses beating up an unfaithful girlfriend and shoving a 45 caliber handgun down her new fellow's throat) i have heard unaltered on stations that bleep mentions of firearms or violence, presumably because they didnt understand the terminology.
