There's a bar in my area that has the TouchTunes jukebox set up to be censored. I'm an adult at a fucking bar and I can't listen to something with a swear word, ha ha.
One time I was at a MicroCenter (kind of like Best buy) and Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" came on the store music. I was like who the fuck plays a radio edit of this song what's the point?
It was not a radio edit. We all heard "wanna fuck you like an animal" in all its original glory. A+ would buy wireless keyboard from there again.
God I worked at a bar that played NWA but with the naughty words bleeped out. It's a fucking bar! First of many problems with that place.
