The Incident: Britney Spears' single "If U Seek Amy" sparked controversy in the United States due to the sexual implications of the title. When sung fast, as Spears does in the recording, the words "if you seek Amy" appear to spell out F-U-C-K me. The song was censored in the United States and retitled as "If U See Amy", removing the "k" from "Seek." American parents demanded radio stations cease playing the song between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. as it "violates the broadcast indecency law."

Results of Incident: Radio stations continued to play the track. The song went uncensored in most other nations, and even with American action, the single went on to sell over 100,000 digital copies.
