I read the online version of The Australian daily.

Today I saw a news story titled:
NAME SHAME CAUSES COC$K SHRINKAGE BUT WANG IS ON THE RISE
Name shame causes **** shrinkage but Wang is on the rise | The Australian
notice that C-D censors the C word (which is why I added a $ sign)

Underneath there was an article "Students Up as Economy shrivels up" (which I wonder was intentional)

Do people think the above headline would ever exist in North America or Europe? I laughed my behind off and thought I'd share. You gotta love Aussie humor (I love it).

Ha ha, I was imagining all sorts of dubious things that article could have been about, but it was a bit of a let-down!
