Censorshit

Dan just informed me that the Chicago Tribune censors the word "fart." Here's the context:

Mark Anderson might be the worst (gas-passer) ever. He takes these protein shakes, so he smells like little babies do.

Who are you censoring that for? Children? Really? You think kids learn about farting by reading the paper. This just in Chicago Tribune: You're dumb as vaca caca.

Or maybe you are censoring it because you paper chaps are trying to transfer your high society moralist view to us street urchins. Well listen Thurston Howell the IIIs, I hope you explode.

What's the big deal with the word fart? I can think of much more offensive replacements. Here she blows:

crap cloud
fecal vapor
reverse anus deodorant
poo puffs
