trade union Amicus installed filtering software for its internet forums to detect and repress any words or letter combinations deemed offensive. This had the unfortunate consequence of neutering several entirely innocent British placenames, rendering Blackpool as Black***l and Scunthorpe as S****horpe.

I think they were being a bit over the top with poo. But the full post is well worth a look if you (like me) are into puerile humour.
