Here are some words that Sony doesn't want you to say:

bite - ****
chatter - ******r
classes - cl*****
connection - *****ction
engine - *****e
fallout - *****ut
Peter - *****
Simon - *****
toy - ***
trigger - tr*****

Bad words, aren't they?

EDIT: Just remembered, I heard the word 'bottle' muted during a song on the radio. It was Nickelback - This Afternoon.

"B*ttle"

I am very happy that we do not censor at all in the Netherlands (some broadcast organizations on the public channels do but that is their own choice and maybe 5% of the total)
We have people using drugs, bad language, very shocking images when we want too; there are just some rules for not airing the "worst" stuff before 22:00

I do notice that because our shows are imported from the us a lot we "import" their censorship as well.
The only problem is that the voices that are in support of censorship are getting more vocal about it.

There's a radio station here (Nova) that will play any Jay-Z song uncensored, aside from the word fuck (yes they do allow "Nigga", which I guess is the non-racist way of saying it?).

However, they do censor the words "grind", "pole", "ass" (which is a donkey, i don't see how it could be thought of as offensive), and at one point "shaking" from eminem/nate-dogg's song "Shake Dat Ass".

Oh, and that borderline tourettes song that Gwen Stafani did, where she says "Shit" every other word? Uncensored. Justin Timberlake/Snoop Dogg's songs "Sings" is censored so much it may as well be a synth-instrumental.

Go figure.

Don't forget the hilarious MadTV sketch about a censored episode of The Sopranos on PAX (probably one of the most family friendly channels on American TV).

I always thought the censorship of the words "asshole" and "goddamnit" were weird.

ass=okay, hole=okay, asshole=assh**e?
god=okay, damnit=okay, goddamnit=g*ddamnit?
