A friend hated snow so much that he put it in his dial-up BBS's filter, so "snow" would be rendered "****".

Unfortunately, I'm not certain what song it was: "Frosty the ****man" or "Let It ****" are the ones that leap to mind.
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
Or maybe "chairboy".

Posted today. They pulled this guys 3-yo tag of "HornyChinchilla" because, it is assumed, they found it to be offensive.
Their filter suggested "Fingered" and completely accepted "FingeredAnus"
I'm sure that there's a joke in there somewhere about how it feels to use MS products...
