Sometimes censorship isn’t worth d**k

Category: Everything Else

From the iTunes store’s page for the movie Fun With Dick and Jane:

Fun with Dick and Jane poster, with Dick appearing as D**k in one place and Dick in another

What’s lovely about this is the word “Dick” appears in big, bold red letters in the movie poster. That, and the fact that my brain immediately tries to fill in the asterixes: “Dork..? Dink..?”

(I’m assuming, by the way, that this is some automatic de-naughty-ifying engine at work, and not some Richard-head who doesn’t realize “Dick” is someone’s name.)

    Will someone *stop* thinking of the children, already?
