JohnKerry.com has no obcenity filter

Filed under: Web/Tech | 4 Comments

Here is a great example of why a good webmaster can save you a ton of bad press. Matt Drudge noticed that JohnKerry.com has multiple examples of both “fuck” and “shit“. Normally these words are against the policies of this site (as they should be), but they appear here for historical accuracy. A simple regular expression would have been able to filter these out.

As many have pointed out, the FCC is attacking people who use said words on the airwaves. Why is a presidential candidate publishing them? One of the two has to change (I’m in favor for no censorship by the way). At least the Bush camp knows how to keep their foul language behind closed doors.

By the time you read this, you will likely find the offending words removed (having millions of people visit your site and laugh at your candidate has a way of spurring changes). But I have captured them for your viewing pleasure:

    Actually, the FCC has approved the televised use of the word “fucking”, as long as it’s used as an adjective. Ex: “I hate this fucking censorship law.”

    BTW, what browser are you using? I can’t say that I’ve seen that browser/theme before.

    That’s actually being challenged after the whole Janet Boob thing. There are some hearings going on (Howard Stern et al). Wouldn’t be surprised to hear it go down.

    I’m using FireFox. It’s hot.

    i think kerry should have jacques chirac as his running mate; that france can take over the country and think about the wonderful croissants we can eat while the country goes up in flames.
