Cool link. There are some real gems there. Especially translating dirty words to "clean" ones seams especially dangerous.

Apparently if the sprinter Tyson Gay had been assassinated in 2008 the American Family Association filtered would have translated it to "Tyson Homosexual has been buttbuttinated" (replacing gay->homosexual and ass->butt).
