Over here songs with the F word or any other profanity are broadcasted by radio stations and MTV any time of the day, although this is rare. CDs are very hardly labeled with "inapropriated content" (except imports from america), but I think I saw a local rap CD with such label once.

As an example, there was this very popular "pop-rock" (can't find a better definition) group, which was extremely popular with kids and teens back in the mid 90s (myself included) because of their humorous lyrics. Their CD sold millions of copies. It featured no warning label whatsoever, the cover had the members of the band and two huge woman's breasts behind them, and the CD was filled with profanity, but the music was aired on TV stations and radio unaltered and uncut, and not even ONCE there were parents complaining or suying them.

On a sad unrelated note, the members of that band died on a plane crash in may 1996, I think. The horrible phorographs of that plane crash, along with photos of the mutilated corpses, leaked into the internet, creating the first and earliest "spam-like internet craze" I can recall.
