Too true. I used to get on the History Channel site but found the censorship to be extreme. For example; I was sharing a story about post-basic training haircuts and used the word "ping", which was used to describe guys in tech school who were fresh out of basic ("ping" was allegedly the sound your hair made as it was growing). I couldn't enter the post because of the questionable word. That did it for me. Apparently the History Channel hadn't yet done a show on the 1st Amendment. At least here we can use innuendo and adult-type humor, the judicious use of *, and #, and -, etc.
