Say it with me, ladies and gentlemen...Content Filtering Does Not Work

Lunchtime doubly soThis goes double for retroactive content filtering in an attempt to sanitize your discussions for public consumption.


Oh, and I just found two more quick examples, which may conveniently be combined.
Edit: Oh dear. If you're up for reading an old article about sexual abuse in the Catholic church, see how many new words you can find here.

'Spokane's lawyers, like those in Portland, argued that the bishop holds "bare legal breastle" to the property and buttets that lawfully belong to the diocese's 81 parishes and affiliated enbreasties, such as schools and cemeteries.'

Clbuttic.

What I don't understand is, why are they building filters that replace "sex" with "love?" The two things just *aren't* synonymous.

You aren't the only one who doesn't understand that one. When I did a search for "harbuttment," "loveual" was not a term I expected to see alongside it.

That Barossa site seems to be a found of fantastic new words. Maybe they just haven't noticed what their filtering software does, or maybe they are amused by the results too. But you know what site really, really should know better? This one.
