    Well, you never know when and what is going to be censored. Apparently, it didn't happen this time.

    Let's see if my answer gets censored, Dick Cheney, Dick Cheney, Dick Cheney

    Nope, they must have added it to the list of approved words.

    It's not censored all the time, the script the site uses is fallible, it is a proper name, and it's not that bad of a word even if you use it the other way, I can think of much worse

    Li'l Georgie Bush and his old Dick..... what a pair, hu? Cost us a couple TRILLION dollars.

    Right wing morons LOVED those guys though - Riff and Raff - Right and Left - Flim and Flam - Bushy and Dickie.

  • I think they have stopped doing that because I see no censored words. It must be a recent change though.

    Real mature. How old are you 7? You're a little too young to be on here.

    Same reason I can type "teabagger" but try typing in **********! They only find liberal words "offensive" but call conservatives anything you want!

    Well he is a dick. His name is fitting.

    The Yahoo! team is displaying Liberal political correctness in action.
