Exactly. And in some cases, the swaering is not just meaningless and gratuitous. For example, when I first came to teh States I bought a Ryan Adams album from Walmart, not realising they edited their CDs. Ryan Adams is a rock/acoustic/alt country singer. He swears from time to time, but only when neccessary and it adds to teh emotion of the songs cos you know he means it. When I heard the first 'bleep' I was shocked, and argued with the customer services clerk at Walmart until she finally caved to my 'but I'm an ignorant foreigner' pleas and gave me my money back. I told her 'where I come from we don't edit our artists'.
