Bleeping out cuss words is all but mundane for radio stations, but Britney Spears' third Circus single, If U Seek Amy, (say it fast, boys and girls) has them a bit perplexed on how to censor. Nice try, Brit, but most DJs won't be allowed to play it, MTV reports.

"We have a responsibility to the public ... you put this out and act like we're all fuddy-duddies, like we're trying to make moral judgments. It's not about us," says the director of a Cincinnati station. "It's about the mom in the minivan with her 8-year-old." (More Britney Spears stories.)
