This Week's Newsletter: Profanity Problem
Posted by Fraser Lewry on 13 May 2010 - 2:31pm.
The following 1 rule(s) were triggered: Rule 'EN Profanity': [CONTENT: Message content contains 'asshole']. Action: Quarantine email and alert sender.
You can probably get the word "asshole" onto children's TV these days without anyone immediately thinking of phoning the Daily Mail, but you can't get it past many corporate firewalls and e-mail filtering systems. This week our newsletter contains two such occurrences of the word, and so it's entirely likely that some of you won't receive it.
If you don't, it can be accessed here. And if you'd like to receive the newsletter and don't, please ensure that the e-mail details you used when registering with the site are up-to-date.

Are you still doing an online versh of the mag Frazer - I seem to have missed any mails with URLs if so?
Yes
Check your details are up-to-date here. If they are, you should be getting it.
On children's TV?
I don't think so. Although I think the Wacky Races has excellent comic potential if that kind of vocabulary gets included.
what about in a cunning playground rhyme
asshole asshole, a soldier i will be
to piss to piss, two pistols on my knee
fuck your fuck your, for curiosity
i'll fight for my cunt, I'll fight for my cunt, I'll fight for my country
last heard my school 1983
I'm sure
The Two Ronnies did this one Saturday night in 1976
Definitely omething like it
but possibly not that version precisely...
I also like the story
possibly apocryphal, about when the House of Commons installed a new email system with new filters and firewalls. Apparently, the Right Honorable Member for Scunthorpe wondered why he wasn't getting any mails through....
