I think it�s unnecessary to tell that here in Brazil
*no* songs are censored in the radio - we get all
[Pt-equivalent] to F***, SH**, DI**, etc. And in English
or French or Italian or Arab too, for songs that are
in those languages. [ok, erase that Arab :-)]

I really can�t understand USA censorship. I heard a song
that was something like "When I wake up, I smoke marijuana",
and then the guy repeats that he smokes marijuana *all
day*.

Why is this permitted, and a nice fuck is censored?

BTW, there�s a br group, called _Planet Hemp_, who
writes songs about... [it�s clear what for :-)] that
*has* been censored. But that�s because there are some
idiots who have too much power without checking, and
they like to take new decisions just to appear in the
media [for example, by censoring outdoors with a 
nekkid girl whose nudity was covered by Santa Claus]
