Dear Heart Radio

Dear Heart Radio,

I have tried asking this question on various media outlets of yours, from facebook, twitter and texting Heart Wilts direct, but I am yet to have an answer, although Heart breakfast in Wilts did say they would look into it.

My question is over song censorship. I will use 2 songs as examples in particular.

Outkast Hey ya.
Pink Like a pill.

In the latter, the word bitch in the line 'Being a little bitch' is censored.
In Hey ya, the line 'Wanna make you come' is not censored.

Why?

The word 'Bitch' is a general name for a female dog.
The line 'Wanna make you come' is an aggressive sexual derogatory.

I would like to know the reasoning as to why Pink is censored, and Outkast is not. And to know the censoring guidelines in general. Because this, to me anyway, is confusing.

I would appreciate it if you could respond to this.

Regards,
