Why does "cockroach" (c.ockroach) get censored but not Discocks? |

not as bad as the games on MSN game zone. you can chat inside some of the games, if you're playing with someone else especially. It censors the word 'adult'. |

It reminds me of Jimmy Kimmel's "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship." The fact that the word is being censored is more profane than the word itself.
"Somebody please help me--I have a cockroach infestation in my apartment."
I would think reading this "Holy shiat, there are people breaking into his apartment and fukking?"
It's not like Koreans are offended by our swears. |

And rather American-centric, too. Bloody wanker, bugger, bollocks, all OK. |

You want obscenity? How about
phpBB : Critical Error. Could not connect to the database
about ten times?
Now that's obscene!

Here's a variation on the fill-in-the-blanks exercise. Guess what's been edited out (answers at the far bottom).
Dick Cheney had put some chicken breasts to cook in frying pan, and was reading a book by Charles Dickens when he saw a cockroach scuttle by.

Uh...I'm betting the Terms of Service forbids this discussion. Sounds like you're being critical of the mods...and you know that group is as sensitive as exposed nerves. |

If they have a problem with it, they're welcome to erase it.
I think it's a lot more rude to see things like Dick Cheney and cock roach than the actual words.
Here's a big collection of Unnecessary Censorship videos.
