The Fark programmer-admins should include some new amusing filterpwns, like substituting "Palin" anywhere someone types "We" next to "Todd".

That joke is Sofa King old.

mamoru: Sofa King We Todd Did. :-/

I originally heard it as "sofa king we tall did" when I was a kid. 15-20 years ago. I like that version best because it gets that lisp quality in there.

Company should change their name to

Sofa King Oppressed.

or some such

Pillows or pads stuffed with soft material used for sitting.
But that's not important right now.

However, they're still free to advertise their Nosmo King showroom.
 
2012-03-12 05:52:46 AM
They can still advertise on billywitchdoctordotcom though.
 
2012-03-12 07:49:01 AM
Change it to Sofa Queen low. It's just as funny. Plus they can't do farking shiat.
 
2012-03-12 08:00:32 AM
When will the southpark-ization of our culture farking end? It's at the point where people in their 30s think shiat like this is funny.
 
2012-03-12 08:02:01 AM
The company should appeal this decision in the courts. Hire a lawyer named Mike Hunt.
 
2012-03-12 08:05:27 AM
So Sofa King can`t display their name anywhere?

didn`t RTFA

Humans as a species ar farked. Not only do they have an aversion to a word. A simpile farking word. But they have industrialized lawsuits over its use. Farking idiots. Now, here is an example of where the word they fear, and are shocked by is not even farking used. The issue is because a few words sound like a word they fear and are shocked by. Farking coonts can't make it on their own without being protected from a farking word. People need to lighten the fark up.

Benevolent Misanthrope: Man, the Brits are Sofa King uptight.

No, not really. You can say/do MUCH more on British TV than you can on USA TV. Last night's Top Gear had Richard clearly saying 'you f*cker' during a race. Nobody here would get their knickers in a twist about a nip-slip a la Janet Jackson.

Well, you can say pretty much anything on US TV that you want. The thing is -- the people who own the TV stations don't want to use those sorts of words. The laws between the two are pretty much exactly the same.

So the net result is that you can't say what you like on US television because the channel owners don't like it.

Buy your own channel, then.

Do you really think that the BBC just lets anyone come onto the TV and say whatever they want? If so, Tim Minchin would like a word with you:
