Look dude, I played a part in the loosening of radio restrictions in the early 90's. I am terribly sorry that this happened. Looking at the generation that has grown up listening to this muck and thinking that it is ok to hear bitch and ass and so on on the radio is disgusting. These same people that were teens when we started are now young parents that have 3, 4 & 5 year olds that are singing "My neck, my back, lick my **** just like that." Radio should have never gotten this far. As adults I think it is fine. Just like I don't think pushing porn to adults is wrong... but the kids are affected by this radio stuff directly everyday.
Here in NY we have a morning team called Star and Buckwild. They routinely address women callers by saying "What's up Bitch?" as well as all kinds of other names (use your imagination). Depending on the situation they can be funny but what do you think this says to the kids? When I was a kid I had a potty mouth but I never let adults find out. This is not the case anymore.
If you think this is unrelated to music censoring just remember that if it wasn't allowed in the songs the kids wouldn't feel comfortable saying it. Censorship should stay.
