Why the need to censor F***, F*CK, F**K with asterisks and such? |
|
Is that akin to Asscrack covering that statue as if he was implying that women don't have breasts?
If you say FUCK in a subject line or within a post, do you think masking it will change the meaning of it? Do you think people won't know what you're saying?
Maybe people read text with a 5-second delay, or, when they see FUCK a little *bleep* goes off in their heads to cover up the profanity.
I'm channeling an old Carlin routine, but I see it done so often I just wanted to ask about it.

9. A lot of f*cking people are at f*cking work, and filters will block the |
|
site or report some kind of alert to the all-powerful IT department (ok, I made that up; the IT department already knows everything) if they encounter too much obscenity.
