BBC NEWS:
BBC News - Virgin Media programme guide censorship hits glitch

Over recent days, subscribers to Virgin's TV and radio services have been offered the highlights of the "Manchester City v A***nal" game and "Jarvis C**ker's Sunday Service".

Meanwhile, movie lovers could tune into The 39 Steps, a "Hitchc**k remake".

What a b*lls-up

How prudish-no wonder the channel's called 'Virgin'.

I do hope there are no planned events, matches, or TV programmes set in Scunthorpe...

They've just missed out on 'D**k Whittington' at the Plowright Theatre,S****horpe which ran a couple of weeks ago.

Or indeed, D***ens Great Expectations, set in Light***er ...

There was a movie site from the USA which had similar censorship. If you put in the name Hitchcock it would change it to "Hitchthingy"

I once posted a comment on another forum that mentioned Penistone Railway Station but it came out as Thingytone. I found that the trick is to put spaces between the offending letters.

Interesting that Virgin think there's a need to use a (rather basic) automated swearing filter. Who writes their programme guide? Liam Gallagher?

Hi,
No wonder that they do not have a branch in my neighbouring town of Berkhamsted.

Good job they're not showing Alladin. The Widow T----ey would be most put out !!!!

On another which forum I use, the shortened word for Pakistan is censored, so always reads ****stan when typed into a post. Its certainly political correctness gone mad when you cant even use the name of an actual country in your post.

Hi,
I agree. Unless all this is done to gain attention/publicity.

It also means that I cannot refer to my cockney ancestry.

Bet it spoils that episode of `The lakes` focusing on ****ermouth.

And lets hope ***** by Gaslight isn`t scheduled.

I think that has more to do with to cr*p computer programming......

That's all it is really. It was fixed on the Virgin site even before the "news" report was made

I used to be on a website for walking,and butt was omitted,such as Butt House in Keld. Apparently,it is an American name for an arse!
