A Man Named Dick Had a Bitch Named Fluffy...

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Has anyone noticed that the website now seems to be censoring certain words, with hilarious results?

I first noticed this in posts where the word bitch was used appropriately to describe a female dog. The word kept coming up with asterisks in place of letters, and I didn't think that the posters had done that themselves, as in most cases they were breeders who are not uncomfortable with the word "bitch."

Now today, a Food Group member started a new discussion about the Natural Balance line of dog food, made by (or licensed by) the actor Dick van Patten. Take a look at the way the discussion comes up:

This is pretty funny, but also kind of scary. Don't we have any members named Dick, or with a surname that contains those letters (I have a friend whose maiden name was Dickler) and if so, are their screen names full of asterisks?

I'm going to have to think of some other common every day words that also have "naughty" connotations and see what happens.

 

**UPDATE**:

Adina has fixed the problem, which makes this whole discussion moot, but still funny.

And now that I've posted this, you can see what I mean. I did not use asterisks in the title of this discussion, nor in the text, I spelled out the full words.

And i also see that one question has already been answered. My friend's maiden name came up correctly, which means it's okay to use certain words if you run them into other words. Like Dickbitch.

It would NOT allow me to post or upload  photos with the word  INTERCOURSE the other day.  I just kept getting error messages.  Not asterisks

DICK is my favorite word.  Spud's nickname on many days is Dick.  Now what do I call him when he is being a Jerk?   How do you even say, D-asterisk?

Anyhow, thank you for posting. I thought it was me.

For example--it would NOT load my above comments just now.  Again.   I had to reload the page.  

Maybe big brother needs to read it first?

Gee...my favorite word is "Dickhead"!!

The email notification sent to let you know there was a new discussion showed uncensored words.

Oh this is hilarious......BitchIntercourse, PA.  This probably means you can say anything you want as long as you don't use any spaces.

lol - many years ago - the company I was working for tried to hire a VP by the last name of Dickinsheets.  Who would have been my boss.  I never knew his first name but I was very afraid that it might be Harry.  Thank goodness he turned the job down.  I just couldn't say his name with a straight face.

DH has a business agent named (Dick)Petersmith.  Whenever he calls it is very hard not to start laughing.  Actually the first time he called I did.  I thought it was one of his friends joking around, NOT.

I work with a guy named (I'm not making this up, I promise) Dick Biggerstaff. Ermmm... yeah.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Maybe he changed his name and opted for Biggerstaff.  You know how some men are.
