Obscenities hidden in rss feed

p2pnet.net News Feature:- Fleshbot on BoingBoing says someone on b3ta, “found this XML list of obscenities on a website for women’s deodorant (wtf?) and recommends that ‘any ambitious young swearers [sic] out there study it thoroughly’; we plan on using the term ‘chutney ferret’ as much as possible from now on."
And in an update BoingBoing says, readers Dan and Aaron each wrote to point out that the XML list appears to be banned words – the site offers a “make your own personalized t-shirt” thing. Dan says, “Try clicking on ‘Prizes,’ and then ‘Design mantra T-shirt’. If you attempt to design a shirt with one of the phrases or words in the XML list, you will be chastized for using disallowed language. And how!
That’s worthy of the RIAA. And/or MPAA.
No doubt they’ll yank the xml so if you hit the ‘official’ site and can’t find it, and if you really want some evidence to pass on to someone – Bitain’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), say – go here.
In the meanwhile, they’re also trying to wring it out by locking into the Teenage Cancer Trust. Does the trust know it’s being associated with this kind of garbage, we wonder?
And speaking of garbage, there’s a PRNewswire release here but in case they haul that down too, you can check it out here.
So what’s this got to do with p2p?
Not a lot. But rss abuse comes under digital media news. Right?
