Short funny story. I participate in a forum where
every now and then there are political or social
discussions. We noticed that some of the posts that
included the word "socialism" had it replaced with
"piece of crap".

Everyone was offended even the ones that don't like
socialism. Of course the moderators got an earfull
(eyefull?) for editing posts with such an arrogant
political slant. 

Until it was found that a recent display filter was
missconfigured and included the word "cialis" as one
of the words to replace but also included it "as part
of a word".
