A F*cking Cr*cked Round Up

By:

So, there's this big economic catastrophe going on right now, right? $700 billion in taxpayer money going to "fix" the proble, right? And there's also this little election coming up, yeah? Whole lot of big stuff going on. But if you ask our readers, all of that stuff combined looks like a small hunk of shit next to the real issue right now: A fucking profanity filter in the comments section. The response has been an absurd overreaction of fairly epic proportions. It was, to say the least, not too inspiring.

Personally, we don't totally get the response. It's not like we're telling you to stop. And it's not exactly like we're decreasing the readability of the comments, (it's not as if you don't know what c*ckmuncher looks like without the asterisk). Even if you couldn't tell what c*ckmuncher was, there's a little "Show Profanity" button, (that we should have just labeled "Stop Your Whining"), to clear everything up. Yeah, when you hit that button, all of the asterisks go away. But, why mention that when instead you could explode in an absurd and almost comical overreaction.

Some highlights, perhaps are in order. User Tparrico expressed her dissatisfaction with the profanity filter with four consecutive comments, one of which was the word "beaner" over and over again. Gr3m1in says "This profanity blocker is doing further damage to the already crippled English language." Some people would just curse over and over again, and some would find clever, (or, what we assume they think of as "clever"), ways to beat the filter, (spacing out each letter i n d i v i d u a l l y). Congratulations, you're an amazing and brilliant hacker, expect a call from the NSA based on your uncanny filter-cracking abilities, we hear they're looking for codebreakers.

Honestly, folks...It's a profanity blocker. Reading some of the screaming, irrational reactions, well...We got worried about you guys. Get out a little bit. Like, outside. Go to places, with people. The park, a bar, the movies. Anywhere. Run around, meet people. We can't hide curses in the real world, so get your fill. Do anything, and maybe afterwards, you'll realize just how trivial a profanity blocker is, and how maybe there are some other targets that are slightly more deserving of your intense, insane rage.

Have a great day.


Holy Blog, it's Blog! Blog! In this week's HBN, Gladstone shows how you don't have to be a brilliant politician to write about politics. Or educated. You don't even really need even a slight grip on the issues. You just need a barely passable ability to write. Also, being Chuck Norris helps. In other blog, did you catch the Emmy's? Chris Bucholz did, and they sucked. You know who's had a good run but, frankly, can eat a big dick? Shakespeare. Swaim finally updates that whining, out of touch has been with his newstages of man. In a move that modern political experts are calling "illegal," Ross Wolinsky throws his expense hat in the 2008 Presidential race. And if one wholly unqualified and inexperience blogger running for president isn't enough, how about two?

Notable Comment:darkhorse08817 says "I have this idea for a "How Far Would You Go (for a buck)" TV game. Simple concept: contestant's leg is encased in an immovable 10 ton cement block. 10 yards away is a suitcase w/ $1 million (or $5 million for returning "champs" who'd won prior contests) in cash. Contestant is given a machete. Cameras roll. I think it'll smoke 'Survivor' in the ratings. Maybe the japanese will buy it :D" We support this show. So, so much.
