Why were the commercial trade names blurred or beeped out?

Throughout the movie the trademark names such as Universal Pictures and Versace were both blurred out so they couldn't be read, or beeped out so the viewer couldn't hear them. Any reason why they went to such efforts to do this?

I was also wondering the same thing... doesn't make sense for the names to be bleeped out.

My copy has the audio bleeped but the image is not.
