I don't give a BLEEP

Okay, who are the censors and why would they bleep out the word "damn" when the word "dam" was uttered at least 15 times before the statement "I don't give a damn."? I found it very strange.

Let me clarify. I was watching Orangutan Island and a commercial came on were celebrities were talking about beavers building dams; how industrious they are, how they build dams overnight, how we should send them to Iraq to help rebuild. The final statement was referring to the beavers' attitude: "I'm going to build this dam and I don't give a BLEEP. It's just a word, for goodness' sake! It's a word that has been uttered on TV a bajillion times. Why bleep it and who decides that that particular Damn gets the ax? I just don't get it.
