Crikey!

[angra]

In reporting on the arrest of a journo and a cop in the ongoing Elveden Sun inquiry, Crikey feels impelled by political correctness (or maybe an inflexible filter) to report Sussex as "Suss_x".

Crikey's abnormal obsession with excluding any word which might even contain even the hint of something sexual or naughty has always pissed me off.

Jesus H tap-dancing Christ!

Let's think of some innocent words that Crikey would censor.

1. Scunthorpe.

2. Bong Bong, NSW

3. Iron Knob, SA

4. Anus, Philippines

5. Beaver Head, Idaho

6. Fucking, Austria

You get the idea.

Yeah I know, I grew up on Carry On films, Les Dawson, the two Ronnies and Benny Hill

Iron Knob ... Teehee!

I think I've actually been there. I was very young.

MoC - there's also Cock Wash, SA; Chinaman's Knob, Vic; and the great Tittybong and Mount Buggery in Vic.

You can check 'em all on Google maps.

PS. I used to live near Watanobbi, NSW, but I'm not boasting.

I feel an Austin Tayshus moment coming on.

Anyone want to Mount Buggery, have a Tittybong then work up to a Chinaman's Knob before a final Cock Wash?

If not then Rooty Hill you Tom Ugly. I'm going to Platypus and Mount Isa.
