Analogous to that, in Germany don't beep out any swearwords on television, which is why American celebrities appearing on TV here swear vedammt oft. For example this eminem interview

It's at 2:30 where he talks about it. And swears a "little".

That brightened my day considerably.

When I watch Misfits (UK show) they say some things that I never hear on American shows. It only happens on shows that are after the watershed[1] though. Before then I don't know which parts are censored.

It always amuses me a little how Americans seem to be more strict than the Europeans for media censoring.
