Like a virgin you're Madonna!

I don't get this.

The Malaysian radio station censors the word virgin from Train's Soul Sister song, but we have a Malay Women's magazine called Dara selling in newsstands everywhere. Same difference or does virgin sounds wrong to you? I mean you can say this "Dara" refers to young women who are still not married, and not that type of Virgin that Madonna talks about in her song,  but hey, I tell the bartender in Dublin to get me a Virgin Mojito. And the only reason he chuckled was because it was mojito. Almost nobody orders a Virgin Mojito. Virgin in this context simply means sans alcohol.

*read: Dara is Virgin in Bahasa Malaysia.

 I am just curious how things get done in the censorship department/office whatever. My astrology sign is VirgO!
