Swear word bleeped. We've got team coverage.

Yahoo! News - Green Day Tests Grammy Censors. This was on the front page of Yahoo just now, and I have to wonder: how is this news? Green Day performed a song that contains an expletive and it got bleeped...just like it does every time the song is played on the radio. In this post-Janet Jackson world, the entertainment media are eager to hyperventilate over any trace of a live-TV controversy. What's the big deal? "Oh my God, I heard a bleep!" Hmm. Some of the local radio DJs around here bleep themselves (or a caller) about once every five minutes.

BTW, the Green Day album (bleeping) rocks.
