Nah, if it's banned it will make it a tad more difficult to simply skip over the posts made by 5 year olds.

But... if we're into banning stupid plays on words... how about the use of Kommiephornia, Kalifornia, Kaliphornia etc etc?

Just goes to show how little it takes to occupy the mind of a liberal.

What could the OP have been thinking? Why would you want to ban a phrase that happens to be both wonderfully descriptive and literally true?

So, vote here, should use of that word be banned on this site or should it be allowed, along with MS"LSD" and ClintonNewsNetwork?
How 'bout Fux news instead?

Also I find it highly amusing that these peeps who claim to be so patriotic will do anything in their power to squash free speech at any chance they get.
