If you listen to the radio (Top 40 stations) or watch those music video channels (or VH1 in the morning), you have seen or most likely heard this song (click here for song). If you didn't know it before, this song is about having a threesome, hence the name 3. It is no big deal coming from Britney's mouth, especially not after her other single "If U Seek Amy" made headlines.
Now if you watched the video (and didn't just click out of it because you found out it was Britney Spears), you noticed something peculiar about the song. The pre-chorus goes "Are you in/Living in sin is the new thing/Are you in/I am counting..." So is there anything wrong with what she just sung? Not to me, but apparently to other people (and YouTube, or Vevo) there is. She said sin. Sin! A three lettered word. A word that you probably hear at least once a day, if not, 100 times on Thursday night. To me there is no problem with it.
I'm not a big radio person, or TV watcher, but I have heard this song coming from both the radio and TV. I have only heard sin bleeped out while listening to the radio. On the TV, sin was heard. I thought this was amusing. The radio bleeped a simple little word like sin out.
So why now am I bringing this up? I just turned on some music (my iTunes is on shuffle) and this song came up. I forgot she put out a video for it and looked it up. And bam. Bleeped out sin.
What I don't understand though is they bleep out sin, yet play "If U Seek Amy" on the radio? Really?
If anyone knows anything about that song, you'd know what she is saying in the song. If you don't, well she is saying Eff. You. See. Kay. Me. (If you didn't understand that-- google it. Keep profanity off my blog, sorry!) If U Seek Amy was played morning, noon and night. And was played at my work, during the day, with little kids shopping around for expensive jeans made in Africa (don't ask).
I thought this was funny. Little girls are going around singing "All the boys and all the girls are begging to if U seek Amy" but then you hear them sing "Living in --- in the new thing." Oh okay, Eff you see kay me is so much better than sin.
People these days, makes me wonder.

i dont get why they always bleep out "god" and not damn when they say "goddamn" on the radio. i would love to see them bleep out either one of those words on christian talk radio. i bet they even say the phrase "living in sin". the media definately has some whack double standards.
