More surprising censorship

[Joel Shaver]

Along the lines of iTunes censorship mentioned by Wilson and others- the
Pandora website (usually very interested in preserving integrity)
includes this sentence in reference to a Nickel Creek album:

'Longtime fans who were mystified by Chris Thile
<http://www.pandora.com/music/artist/chris+thile>'s experimental 2004
solo release Deceiver
<http://www.pandora.com/music/album/chris+thile/deceiver> may c**k their
collective heads in dismay, but those who appreciate the group's searing
musicianship, orgasmic harmonies, and genre-bending arrangements will no
doubt wear out their copies of Why Should the Fire Die? within the first
month of ownership.'
( ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide)

Interesting example of accidental censorship of words, but lack of
censorship of offensive (or at least offensively tacky) descriptions?
