By the way, how is it the words dick and cock aren't censored but ***** is?

I also think it's funny how the words ***** and ****** are both censored even though the former can represent cats or the word ***** even when it represents a dog but boobs aren't?

Because Dick is a proper name, and cock can be a part of other words, so if they were censored, it would look something like this:

"**** York was the better Darrin over **** Sargent, but I'm bothered by the ****eyed ****roaches I have playing shuttle**** with Andy ****."

"Dyke" is slang for lesbian as well. Yet "Dick van Dyke" is perfectly okay to say, unless the FCC has their way. :big_grin:

Did you find that on a subway?
1. No, I found it on Google Images.
2. It's not a real poster - well, it is, but it's Photoshopped.
3. I don't think we even have subway trains in Michigan - we have Amtrak trains.
