I agree... that probably did go a bit far. So, all in all, I agree, it's better to censor a little so that we can all have our Schlitz and giggles. O_o Okay Jeff, no problem.

The rest of your post was hysterical, but the one phrase was a bit over the line for me. Reading it, I realized that I've posted a few lighthearted articles that could be taken as derogatory towards homosexuals, and that's absolutely the last thing I want to do. I'm not gay but I've actually had anti-homosexual slurs yelled at me in a case of mistaken identity, and I've had some very dear friends who were gay, so I'm a bit sensitive to that sort of thing. Anyway, I may have been a bit overzealous in this case, and I apologize for not notifying you directly at the time, but I'd rather go a bit too far in trying to avoid hurting someone's feelings than not far enough, and turn what was intended as a humorous observation into something that would drive people away. I mean, drive people away even faster than my already lame humor was doing in the first place, of course :-p Sorry about that, Brad, I wasn’t sure what the etiquette was on notifying about editing so I didn’t say anything, which in retrospect was probably not the best idea.

I was going for a trifecta, pulling in puns, alliteration, and a reference to another funny article. However, apparently using a more racy version of best and bravest "rear end young man" was too much for them. Oh, PC, you kill the humor of us all...

I'll get them 'hooked' on my 'shaft' then we'll see who's the best and bravest of them all!"

This means it's probably responsible for the bad images, and the poor sap underneath is screaming in his head for it to stop. Of course, I could be wrong...
