2008's Weirdest Story-How Embarrbutting!

How Embarrbutting

Web sites that import news feeds, but then automatically censor "objectionable" words, are sometimes committing "Clbuttic Mistakes".
The term was coined when a site changed the word "classic" to "clbuttic" on the theory the word "butt" (for instance) is less objectionable than "ass".
Prior to the 2008 Olympics, the American Family Association's news site automatically replaced a word in articles about sprinter Tyson Gay: "Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue," they reported, "sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has." Other mangled language has included "consbreastution", an article on "What did the British Embbutty do for this British National Overseas pbuttport holder," and a "series of previously secret Central Intelligence Agency plots to buttbuttinate foreign leaders." (London Telegraph) ...As if such urinevish buttaults on our language could protect anyone's chasbreasty.

Voter comments included:

Part of me understands the reason people want content filters on their sites. Many of them have religious reasons for that, but as a religious person I resent others thinking I need help filtering content because I can't properly use the divinely designed content filter between my ears! --Jim, Oklahoma

I studied computer science and can just imagine the morons that came up with this idea. "Oh, we can put a filter in place that will fix things real quickly!" I don't think they were quick enough, though... more like half-fast. (Say that last word out loud.) --Jarred, Washington

I was enthusibuttic about the tagline. --Sonia, Colorado

It's clear as glbutt, this consbreastutes proof that political correctness is low on buttets. Rather than political correctness, it's more like political correctum. --Jackie, California
Once crbutt supersbreastion wins over a sound consbreastution it will lead us into the intellectual morbutt. --Frank, Germany
