Patently Offensive

[Vinny the Mackem]

Friend of mine posted something on Facebook which was along the lines of "you have an object on your left, and an object on your right, and you're being attacked by a zombie - you need to use whatever is on your left and your right - what are you attacking the zombie with" or words to that effect. The post got quite silly, as one might imagine.

Now, as part of that, one of the responses included "a piece of paper" to which the poster wondered whether he could paper-cut a zombie to death (again). As a result of that, I (in joke) took a photograph of a piece of paper reading "fuck off Zombies" and suggested he pass that to the zombies to buy some time ... much hilarity all round.

However I posted the photograph onto Photobucket. They blocked the image, and it's taken me a week to get an explanation. All they said initially was that it violated their terms and, after they said a couple of reasons in their terms that simply didn't exist, came up with "we can delete whatever we want" and finally "we consider the word "fuck" to be offensive"

Anyone here consider either the word "fuck" or the terms "fuck off zombies" to be "Patently offensive".

Sorry to get on my high horse, but I'm a little bit miffed.

I'm curious as to how it came to their attention in the first place. I can't believe for a second they look at every image uploaded. Pattern-recognition software?

if it was open to the public someone has probably reported it.

they probably dont even look at reported pic and just delete them, only looking when/if you complain

An offended zombie perhaps?

I would be surprised if it was a report and had suspected it was some form of character recognition.

I've uploaded this instead - they'll probably suspend my account now!
