why is asshole censored but not ass? Is it because someone could use the excuse that they were referring to the literal ass and not a cuss word?

But a-hole isn't censored.

I remember when dick was censored but not pussy. Or was it the other way round?

EDIT// It is!! It sucks man. A-hole seems a lot uglier than a-hole.

That's a very good question.

Ass can also be used to describe a donkey. That may have something to do with it too.

Ass
noun: hardy and sure-footed animal smaller and with longer ears than the horse
noun: a pompous fool
noun: the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on
noun: slang terms for sexual intercourse

a-hole
noun: insulting terms of address for people who are stupid or irritating or ridiculous
noun: excretory opening at the end of the alimentary canal

Bitch isn't censored. Ass is a part of the body, I don't see why it's censored.

How about tits.

Bitch = female dog
Ass = donky
Tits = not censored, probably because it isn't as vulgar.
f**k
twat
c**t
clit
snatch
wet sneaker
flippy flap
dick
cock
man meat
one eyed trouser snake

Well, the way the FCC runs things is pretty messed up. I don't think they intended cencorship to be explained or made sense of. They just want to slap rules on us all and confuse us by saying we can get away with saying some words, but we can't get away with saying others.

About the FCC
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency, directly responsible to Congress. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions.
Organization

The FCC is directed by five Commissioners <http://www.fcc.gov/commissioners/> appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for 5-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term. The President designates one of the Commissioners to serve as Chairperson. Only three Commissioners may be members of the same political party. None of them can have a financial interest in any Commission-related business.
As the chief executive officer of the Commission, the Chairman delegates management and administrative responsibility to the Managing Director. The Commissioners supervise all FCC activities, delegating responsibilities to staff units and Bureaus.

Bureaus and Offices
The Commission staff is organized by function. There are seven operating Bureaus and ten Staff Offices. The Bureaus’ responsibilities include: processing applications for licenses and other filings; analyzing complaints; conducting investigations; developing and implementing regulatory programs; and taking part in hearings. Our Offices provide support services. Even though the Bureaus and Offices have their individual functions, they regularly join forces and share expertise in addressing Commission issues.

Media Bureau
The Media Bureau develops, recommends and administers the policy and licensing programs relating to electronic media, including cable television, broadcast television, and radio in the United States and its territories. The Media Bureau also handles post-licensing matters regarding Direct Broadcast Satellite service.

The FCC is no where near this matter. It's set up in the Admin CP that certain words should be censored. The Admin inserts the word and then puts what they want to put in it's place if someone types is.

Example:
They put in asshole and for the censored version, they put a-hole.

I don't see why ass should be censored.

And when skimming, f**k stands out more than fuck. As does a-hole more than asshole. (To me anyway.) Of course, extremely offensive words should remain censored.

I'm not really understanding the censoring either, I mean you go see a PG-13 movie, and they say f**k and a-hole.
This forum is suppose to be kept PG-13, correct?

Plus, like Mona said, with all the ** and - it really sticks out a lot more than without.

Oh well, doesn't matter to me. I rarely ever cuss.

Well, with the way people type on this site ass-hole is probably seen more than a-hole.




a-hole, a-hole, a-hole.

I just bypass the filer. The people of cB see enough cussing and swear on tv. I think that we need to grow up.
