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.

Karen you are killing me...

I just can't stop laughing....it doesn't take much to get us all going.  Where's Laurie.....I'm guessing she'd have some pretty amusing comments to add to this discussion? Adina, thank you for putting up with all of us and letting us have some fun, and Karen thanks for starting this whole thing.

I have a nephew with the last name Bahls (pronounced Balls) and he is moving to Dickey Street :) I noticed in some of my blogs, the computer underlines words (example Speedo) all on its own.

We just thought you were underlining them because you loved them so much! It's more likely because there is going to be an advert for speedos show up on your page.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Oh, goody :)

[Donna K & Quincy]

Please tell me his first name is not Peter.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Now, that would be a story....not Peter, it is Harry! Just kidding!
