intellectual property doesn't mean you aren't allowed to talk about it, there's no censorship there.
You just cannot PROFIT from it in any way.
Thus I cannot print a Mickey Mouse image onto a tshirt, but I can take Mickey Mouse and make a parody picture of him and print that on the tshirt. I'll probably have to defend my design in a court of law, but it certainly is not censorship.
Mattel's Barbie within the song,"I'm a Barbie Girl" with Barbie being a "public" figure was well within rights of being included in a song. Courts sorted that out a couple of years ago.
Remember there's parody that allows for someone to speak of intellectual property and copyrights.
