Yahoo Castrates Cheney’s Dick

20051118yahoocheney.jpg

Of course, the edit has been fixed now, but some rogue Yahoo edit-bot saw fit to remove Vice President Cheney’s first name from a Gawker Media Wonkette post that appeared on Yahoo as part of a recent content deal because Yahoo thought Wonkette was talking about another sort of Dick. We wonder if Yahoo, knowing Gawker Media’s propensity to tell it like it is, slapped a filter on the deal so as to circumvent any nasty words finding their way onto its precious pages. Well, just like contextual advertising gone haywire during natural disasters, it appears bots can’t handle dick the way humans can.
