Apparently the CIA and the BTHV (Bond Tegen Het Vloeken – meaning Association Against Cursing) joined forces to end Cursing on the web.

A representative of the BTHV, and former employee of the CIA told us: “We should all stop █████ing cursing, especially on the █████ing web, since that is so █████ing viral that young and innocent people might copy the unappropriated behaviour. Therefore we came up with a spider to find all █████ing curse word and we insert, what is now known as ‘the black █████ing box’. We are confident that this will lead to the end of cursing on the web and eventually to the end of cursing in general. You can imagine how enthusiastic and proud we are of this mother█████ing great technology”

The first website that was “uncursed” / “black █████ing boxed” was twitter.

    Funny! I’ve been seeing this today on Twitter and obviously it’s not the CIA, but how and why are people doing this?

    Very curious!
