    Default Virgin TV and the misplaced censor

    It seems that some rogue software for Virgin TV went into overdrive and decided to censor several program names for the sake of the viewer's sensibilities.

    So, The History of Canals became The History of Ca**ls, Charles Dickens became Charles D**kens, never mind what happened to football club A**enal.

    I wonder what other TV programs could be similarly afflicted.

    More on the story here.

    Wasn't this a Monty Python bit?

    This is adorable. It's amazing how dirty a little *st*r*sk can make something sound, isn't it?
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    There is an Indian grocery store near my house named Shital Foods.

    He's not on TV, though.
