That's the thing. I think someone else said, many people who would never go into a store and purchase a cd with these types of lyrics DO listen to the radio. I think that I can even venture to say that some people tolerate the radio versions because at least those versions are edited. Playing the unedited version on the radio, kind of, "forces" those people (who otherwise would not choose to listen to such lyrics) to have to hear those lyrics. Mind you, I am using the word "forces" quite liberally, as if they don't like the lyrics they can just turn the station.
I hope I made my point clear. I'm tired today.
