I rather think this is an America phenomenon where they actually banned words from public media like I never seen it in other developed countries. [1] Nobody here has a problem with vile language as long as it isn't within a children's program. It would be strange in professional ambience like news or classic radio, but that's all. If there is a beeping sound, then just because they are dubbing an English movie or anonymize some names or trying to look more interesting by self-censoring their bullshit program.
Seriously, words like "shit" or "penis" aren't offensive at all these days. Other are just collegial and unprofessional. For someone from Europe this really looks like needless uptightness. It's like a kid isn't even allowed to see her naked mother.
Also, from some educative point of view, I think it's likely the worst solution to simply conceal them from your kids. As a parent you could easily explain their meaning, that it might be rude for some etc. Actually, the important point is to be reflective when learning those words. Those rather simple words are not like showing hardcode porn to children. I don't wanna say that you couldn't be verbally offensive, but that's not the point here.
