Subject: RE: Can I sing 'bloody' on American radio ?
I don't know who told you "bloody" was more offensive than "fuck" in America...it would be quite the opposite. In fact, growing up here, I never heard of bloody being a very bad swear word at all until when I was an adult and someone from the UK told me it was considered very much of an offensive swear word "across the pond." BBC-America runs programs, in the US, which have "bloody" interspersed in the dialogue throughout.

Jon, you did a fantastic job of singing that and we did type a bunch of bloody, eh? Good thing you've disciplined yourself well....we could've lost you altogether to laughter last night!**BG**
