censored wetpaintThis is a featured page

Just so we all know, wetpaint rolled out a new release about a month ago - September 09 - which contained the beautifully twee "Bad Word Replacement" feature. It is currently unswitch-offable, and means that any profanity (including the three letter British slang for cigarette which begins with f) - will be fully asterisked by the prissy US nabobs of wetpaint. What a bunch of schoolmarmish twats, says I (knowing it to be an exclusively British profanity and therefore off their radar). Sigh. So from now on, in all show reports etc, when we're relating our beautifully colourful speech, please type only the first letter and then asterisk the rest. Or do something similarly creative. Perhaps post a photograph of the offending noun, preferably one of your own, whatever it may be. It's 2009 by the way.
