It probably got banned because some moron tried to kick a bear in the 'nads, got killed, and the family sued.
I remember many years ago there was a Taco Bell had a product called the "pocket taco" and an associated commercial touting "Pretty Polly's Poacket Taco". I don't think the metaphor was missed as it did not last very long.

And I thought that this was a Phil Collins thread. That really shocked me as a thread on PA.
In regards to the product - Methinks, an Al Sharton/Jesse Jackson protest is coming soon.

Well, resident amazon Prog Chick is 5'11" -- so she'd likely make a very capable dominatrix, and she has been known to "whip" us into line in the Grey Room... but the entire WORLD?

I see... I'm not familiar with those things, so I guess I'll fail everytime the joke is based of those concepts.
Edit: Erm... while I was reading the kind explanation from Shakespear, I noticed that this was the banner of the thread... ---> Edited by cuncuna - August 30 2007 at 16:42 |

Not to worry, my Chilean friend. "Hangman" is a perfectly innocent school kid's game, where you have to guess a hidden phrase by guessing letters of the alphabet that might belong in the corresponding blanks. Every time you guess a letter that does not appear in the phrase, your opponent draws another part of your body (an arm, a leg, the head, etc.) until, if you get too many wrong, he adds a rope, and you're "hung" -- that is, you lose. (It's actually good for teaching spelling.) The above would seem to be an online version of the old classroom favourite. |

Hmmm. Google inserts these ads based on page content. I guess Blaxx wasn't/isn't very good at hangman according to Google's information.... |

Nevetheless, talking about accidental racism and knowing that a system chooses the add based on content... I know the hangman game, I've played it a hundreed times, it's the connection of contents what feels wrong somehow... |

I see. Your brief post didn't give me a lot to go on. Sorry for the misunderstanding. |
