It was the cigarette ends that did it. Our word for them is anathema in the States (which is where Yahoo lives). Of course, it might have been the donkeys (if you used the old word) ... they are much more sensitive to the word for rear end than we are.

I think there are more obscene things then words. But you know what? You can write 'bell end' and 'roast beef curtains' till the cows come home.
Cortez and four other soldiers are charged with raping and murdering 14-year-old Abeer al-Janabi, killing her family and then burning the family's home and the girl's body to hide the crime.
Pfc. Bradley Mason, 20 testified that, during the May 9 raid, Girouard told his squad that Clagett and Hunsaker were going to kill three detainees who had been handcuffed.
Clagett and Hunsaker "just smiled," said Mason, who said he objected to Girouard. "I told him I'm not down with it. It's murder," he said.
"He[Girouard] said that if I say anything, he'd kill me," Mason said, according to a pool report.
“Yes, I killed innocent people for my government. And for what? I feel like I’ve had a hand in some sort of evil lie at the hands of our government. I just feel embarrassed, ashamed about it....I spend long hours speechless and looking at the wall, seeing nothing but images of dead Iraqis.” - Marine Sergeant Jimmy Massey

It's only considered obscene in the US. Keep speaking, you ain't offended me.

It is Mc Donalds that I find offensive ... ;-) ...
But seriously it is beyond a joke the things that are considered violations and the things that get left on ... I agree they really do need to sort themselves out ...
