F-U-C--Oh Just Shoot Me

The radio industry* was rocked recently when Britney Spears announced her new single would be "If U Seek Amy." It seems radio stations have panicked because of the title's double entendre that I spent way too much time I'll never get back trying to figure out. NY Daily News reports:

"As for "Amy," it's hardly an accident that if you say the title fast -
and enunciate it a little more clearly than Spears does - you get a crude sexual
phrase.

"Happily for Jive Records and Brit, the Parents Television Council (PTC) decided to hyperventilate anyway, creating a tidal wave
of free promotion.That's one reason why, in case you hadn't noticed, Jive was in
no hurry to provide a "clean" edit for radio
play.

"As for Z100, America's defining top-40 station, the clean edit is
essential. The PTC may be windbags, but since Z100's parent Clear Channel just
fired 9% of its work force, it doesn't need to spend money defending itself at
the FCC. Also, Clear Channel CEO John Hogan promised Congress a couple of years
ago that the company would have a "zero tolerance" policy on
indecency."

Before everyone pats Britney on the back for her producers having a grasp of the English language,realize that she originally wanted to name the track "Taco Bell Wrapper on My Face" because "just think of the video, y'all. Just think of the video."

*In other news, it turns out there's still a radio industry. Who knew?
