When did the networks or the studios or whoever makes that decision, decide to try to force different words into actors mouthes instead of bleeping out obscenities?

I miss the days when you would hear bleeps all over the place for movies like Die Hard 2. It still provides the protection for America's youth, while allowing the older audience to appreciate the word that was there before the edit.

Bleeps give you the full effect of the obscenity, or close to it. The badly edited-in "Mister Falcon" lines just distract and make you laugh when John McClane blows up the airplane, instead of making you go "Hell yeah!"

By the way, "Die Hard 4.0" is in pre-production. That "point-oh" part of the title worries me.
