In a comment to an f-locked post, someone left this memory:

I remember an online discussion board that had anti-rude filters placed on it after a change in ownership. This immediately resulted in somebody finding themselves unwittingly discussing the "buttbuttination" of Archduke Ferdinand.

"Arse" got through just fine, however.


I think this surpasses even The Richmond Times's reference to "The Spanish War of Northern Aggression" as my favorite "inappropriate global search-and-replace" story of all time.

[Edited to correct spelling of "Scunthorpe". Thanks, Del_c.]
