I’ve been looking forward to this one, and now I think I have enough examples to tell the story of a kind of censorship that is mostly harmless and totally hilarious. It’s one we did to ourselves to some degree, but it’s not exactly self-censorship. Nor is there any individual telling us what we can or can’t write.
Howdy! This is a post for members only. The good news is that becoming a member is easy and (mostly) painless. For less than $5 a month you could become a member and read this post. Just click here.
Wow, “A Lexus TX” really got me good! Never thought about that one.
Jordan Lee is the chonky bloke that boinked the MSN moderator’s wife. Never again will those words be uttered on MSN.
This article really should have had a warning on it; I almost lost my breakfast at those horrible scenes of carnage. Stop it or I will have to jordanlee my account.
Well now I can’t unsee it, Lexus probably should have tried a different pair of letters or at least given the TX a suitable rear end to pay tribute.
Has Jason’s Changli gained sentience and started working for MSN?
That Ram is surrounded by – who – ICE?
So it would seem that violence is in the near future…
So this brings a thought to my (decidedly bad) mind. Could you just write a very quick, clean article, then essentially post the real article in a comment to bypass things like this MSN algorithm? I figure most search engines avoid comments sections due to the unmitigated chaos they often are (The autopian not part of that).
