Chicago Tribune Pulls 'Vulgar' Section

AP
CHICAGO - A preprinted section was pulled from Wednesday's Chicago Tribune because it contained an article discussing the use of a vulgar slang term in referring to women, according to the newspaper.
The article, under the headline "You c_nt say that," was on the front page of a weekly section called WomanNews.
In a note published in Wednesday's editions, the newspaper said: "Senior editors determined that the story was inappropriate after the preprinted section went to press. Most copies were removed from Wednesday's edition of the paper, though a relatively small number of copies may still contain it." (snip)

1. ahhhhhhh - C*NT

6. I use it often
but then, I've spent time in the UK.

But I was already a user. It's BAD over there, but not considered as bad as it is here. Some Aussies use it freely too.

to me it's just another naughty word.

:evilgrin:
