Probably. :lol:

I once set up a obscenity filter on a website that seemeed over zealous in its filtration process.

Amongst other funny words it censored, Skittyhorpe would come out as S****horpe.  True story.


The company I used to work for once had a problem when we installed a new mail server for them, and all of a sudden their Skittyhorpe branch stopped receiving emails from anyone. We had to explain to the IT directors that the obscenity filter was being triggered. Unfortunately they didn't quite get it, so we had to explain in a bit more depth - embarrassing.....

40     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA
50  NEXT C
60  NA-NA-NAAAA
70  NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA NAAA-NAAAAAAAAAAA
80  GOTO 10

"What do you mean 'there's a c**t in Skittyhorpe' ? Nowhere's perfect. What I want to know is, why aren't they getting their mail?!"


The funny thing is, the actual conversation wasn't a million miles away from that!
