Profanity filter

Why do we have it? Most of you just switch letters around to avoid it with what seems like no penalty. We are all mostly adult and if not its a footie forum id expect some choice words. I dont often swear and dont feel the need but dont get the filter.

 

S****horpe have never been fans of it either

 

I find it strange that you can't write S****horpe but Penistone is OK.

 

Slightly off topic, but there's a fictional football team on the Pro Evo games which is named ****urpia, which I've always found quite bizarre.

Did you know that ofcom consider arse and crap to be 'of little concern' and so allowed at any time during the day, **** is only 'potentially' unacceptable during the day but beef curtains and beaver are banned during the day and only 'mostly' acceptable at night.

Narrator: What's that at the back of dispy po?
Po: Arse
Narrator: oh no, tinky winky is kicking the crap out of po for being naughty.
Narrator: laa laa appears to have **** on the floor but it's ok noo noo is here to suck it up

 

The funniest thing about that snippet is that "Po" is a slang German word for "Arse".

 

I'm going to pretend that I'm intelligent and that was a deliberate clever bit of wordplay by me. Honest...

 

That's the way I read it too. Wordsmithery of the highest order!
