How does radio in 2011 deal with this?

[Mario Gonzalez Jr.]

I remember the song "Fight the Power" by the Isley brothers.  In the chorus, the line that had to be edited was "by all this bulls**t going down".  The version I heard on the radio had the word missing, but we all knew what it was.  They edited it to just say bull.
