You gotta bleep out the nasty words. (Some WFMU type put together a version of NWA's Straight Outta Compton that consisted only of the bleeped part - "fuck fuck mothafucka shit" etc - it's pretty great.) The FCC is hinting that they'll treat euphemisms (e.g., "the f-word") as the equivalent of the original, too.
