About Censoring

The following is a disclaimer that popped up as I was looking at a FoxSports blog about the USC-Oregon State game:

About Censoring

FOXSports.com encourages our users to express themselves on their blogs, story comments, or message boards. We don't want to slow down your game when you're dishing on your favorite teams and players.

At the same time, we recognize that not everyone out there loves a potty mouth. So if there's an obvious bad word on a blog, story comment, or message board post, we'll try to censor it.
Feeling brave, mature, and adult-ish? Or just want to get in touch with your inner sailor? You can choose to have FOX Sports do nothing, and leave all those R-rated words alone. If you do, you may see some coarse language from time to time in the community. Don't say we didn't warn you!

Would you like FOXSports.com to automatically censor content you view?

------------------------------------

What, you might ask, was the offending phrase? Dong. As in "Ding, dong." That's right - a doorbell sound.

When I saw the censor-blips, I admit... I imagined it might be something more comical. I immediately though of Jeff's comment on another installment of "Autoreplace: It's not everything it's cracked up to be."
