Line 35:
* Similarly, the ''[[Sin City]]'' story "That Yellow Bastard" has been covered up by comic vendors in some parts for this reason, though by today's standards "bastard" actually isn't that bad.
* The ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' sidestory focusing on the backstory of [[The Grotesque]], Arseface, was named ''The Story Of You-Know-Who'' to avoid this. Which just seems odd in light of how the cover was a close-up of his face.

Line 45:
** And no, it's not censored, it's actually written with those symbols. Generally said as "What the Bleep Do We Know!?"
* ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518/ GayNiggers From Outer Space]''. Just the title [[Crosses the Line Twice]].
* Did you see ''[[Saw]]''? [[
** [http://thefump.com/fump.php?id=143 But I don't know what I saw ''Saw IV'' for.]
*** We, French-speaking people, cannot wait to see ''[[Bilingual Bonus|Sausage]]'' (Saw VI), and ''[[Bilingual Bonus|Socks]]'' (Saw VII, with a hair on the tongue). And "Saw" itself is pronounced in French like an older word for "stupid" (''sot'').
Line 129:
* Tao Lin's first novel is called ''[[Eeeee Eee Eeee]]''.
* A book about the possible evolutionary origins of nonconsensual sex is called ''A Natural History of Rape''.
* [[John Sladek]]'s novel ''The Muller-Fokker Effect'' is technically clean, but you have to be ''very'' careful how you pronnounce it. Probably intentional; according to Sladek "Young persons have no business reading such a book, which contains [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|sex, violence and anagrams]]. I think I can speak for the moral majority here when I assure you that we are doing our best to prevent such problems by closing all libraries."
* [[Mock the Week|Frankie Boyle's]] autobiography is titled ''My Shit Life So Far''. Many stores displayed the book with a "Censored" sticker covering the offending word, but it's surprising just how many ''didn't''.
** He also planned to name one of his tours [[Refuge in Audacity|"Deal With This, Retards"]], though he didn't in the end.
Line 257:
** Jello Biafra took advantage of this after [[The Dead Kennedys]] were put on trial for obscenity. Following their acquittal, he refused to shake the DA's hand, and then gave him a copy of ''Songs About Fucking''.
* Not actually a case now, but the names of [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Black Sabbath]] and [[Judas Priest (Music)|Judas Priest]] got [[Moral Guardians]] in quite a stir back in the day.
* Serj Tankian's "Beethoven's Cunt", which is also a [[Non
** In addition to his band, "The Flying Cunts of Chaos"
** "Beethoven's Cunt" is the only song in the ''[[Rock Band]]'' downloadable content library with a censored title, appearing as "Beethoven's C***" on the menu.
Line 291:
* The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band have a best of called "The Bestiality of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band"
* The Wildhearts have songs called "Thunderfuck", "Pissjoy", "Shut Your Fucking Mouth And Use Your Fucking Brain" and several others. (They got one S-word onto Top Of The Pops simply by censoring the lyric sheet and not singing too clearly.) They also released an album called "P.H.U.Q."
* "What the name of [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]]'s first album?" "It's ''(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)''." "[[
* [[Ween]]! "Don't Shit Where You Eat", "Flies on my Dick", "Piss Up a Rope", "She Fucks Me", "You Fucked Up", "Waving My Dick in the Wind"...
* The [[Scissor Sisters]], especially once it's learned that not only is there only one woman, but she's the ''only'' straight permanent member. This however, is toned down from their original name (the end result of an arms race of vulgarity) "[[Bury Your Gays|Dead Lesbian]] [[Crosses the Line Twice|and the Fibrillating Scissor Sisters]]."
Line 386:
*** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And now]] ''[[La Mulana]]'' [[Hilarious in Hindsight|is coming out on Wiiware...]]
** The infamous contest to win one of these consoles, that resulted in the death of a woman by water toxicity, was called "Hold your wee for a Wii".
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: How many people avoid the awkwardness by calling it the "Nintendo Wii"? [[Stuck On Band
** It gets better. The Japanese for "two" is "ni". Had Nintendo called the successor the Wii 2 instead of Wii U, Japanese gamers would have called it the Wii Ni.
** [[Stephen Fry]] parodies this in ''The Fry Chronicles'' with the "Puu". (He probably wasn't the first to jump on that one, either)
Line 436:
** Lampshaded in the Yahoo Serious movie ''Reckless Kelly'' when Kelly goes into a bar and asks for a Cocksucking Cowboy- [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|and gets one.]] He opts for a glass of water instead.
* There used to exist a minor league hockey team in Macon, Georgia. The name of the team? Why the Macon Whoopee of course! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macon_Whoopee
* Eighty percent of Americans are not allowed to [[N
* Quite a few guitar effects pedal manufacturers do this, probably inspired by Electro-Harmonix--proud designers of the famous Big Muff, not to mention the Bass Balls, the Black Finger, and the Golden Throat Mouth Tube!
* The Young Conservatives rebranded themselves as Conservative Future in 1997 after William Hague became party leader. Some bright spark decided to put out literature using a "CFUK" (Conservative Future UK) branding. Given how well the party was regarded at the time (not very highly, to say the least), it backfired. The Liberal Democrats put out flyers saying "CFUK are a bunch of AWNKERS". [[David Cameron|Oh, the]] [[Nick Clegg|irony]].
