gotta love getting fired on facebook...

[Bostondevil]

OMG! TOO FUNNY!

And to think I started something today by saying I love Duke Basketball. Sigh. (It wasn't that bad, what I started, I mean, but I did start something.)

[SupaDave]

Facebook does indeed get folks in trouble - especially those in relationships...

[moonpie23]

not me...you just don't do anything on facebook you wouldn't do with your spousal unit looking over your shoulder...

[weezie]

Love it! What a hoot...and management gets the last laugh for a change, Doesn't look like there will be any unemployment hearing on that one.

[snowdenscold]

But we still don't know if it's real or fake...

[brevity]

But we still don't know if it's real or fake...

From what I can tell, it's been reported in the news as real.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Social networking sites are such a great way for people to demonstrate their carelessness.

[snowdenscold]

From what I can tell, it's been reported in the news as real.

Ehhh, there was no information in that article about the incident that didn't come directly from the FB image itself...

[brevity]

Thus my super-careful wording above. (Hoaxes can be reported in the news as real.)

I didn't find enough to verify that the incident really happened, but I was also unable to come across anything that tried to debunk it. More time needs to elapse before it gets on Snopes radar -- for now, we can only accept its truthiness.

Those are the first four letter words I've ever seen on DBR.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Those are the first four letter words I've ever seen on DBR.

I think the reason it passed the filter is that it is an image/picture and not text. You are talking about the "p" word that is spelled like passed but has an "i" in it, aren't you?

[johnb]

I counted 3 words that would ordinarily get screened, and a 4th that would probably get screened if we were the Duke's Rugby Squad and living in England.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

I think the reason it passed the filter is that it is an image/picture and not text. You are talking about the "p" word that is spelled like passed but has an "i" in it, aren't you?

I can't believe I totally missed the two "s" words and "f" word. Sheesh.

[Cavlaw]

Don't worry, you're all on my infraction list now. Especially you, Evans.

[moonpie23]

wow...check it out...those "evil words" have been on a DBR post for a few days now. people can actually see and read them...


the sun is still coming up in the morning, the board hasn't "broken". mass hysteria hasn't ensued, and the internets are still working...

Wow-- I did not even think about the PG-13 nature of the image when I posted it. My bad folks! I have replaced the image with a link.

-Jason "I should infract myself-- oooh, that sounds kinda dirty" Evans

[moonpie23]

jason, not trying to instigate anything, but....why? what's the point? changing it to a link? why hide it? (even tho it's just like clicking on another post to actually see it?")

i'm just curious as to what you think the "problem" is and why you think you have to move it one click deeper?

Well, the DBR has a code of conduct that asks these boards to be "family friendly." Words like the ones in the image I originally posted are not allowed here and we have a filter to keep them out. I accidentally circumvented that filter by posting the image, but the rule about those words remains. I am adhering to that rule by taking the image away and making it a link. I am also adding a warning about the nature of the link.

In this fashion, folks cannot accidentally stumble across the offensive words by just opening a DBR thread. It takes a more overt action on their part.
