Hi, please let us know how we can improve News further.

Yahoo News should stop presenting articles containing words I cannot write in the comments

Whether the words are profanity or some other words Yahoo deems objectionable (you can't even write "**** sapien" in comments for crying out loud), it is hypocritical of Yahoo to give the green light to ~articles~ that do not also meet the objectionable word criteria.

Take the recent articles on the Russian band "***** Riot" -- you can't even post the band's name in the comments, yet they will even say te name on PBS Newshour without batting an eye. So it's time for Yahoo to either grow up, or apply the same censorship evenly to authors and commenters alike.

        In the last few days, yahoo's GENIUSES altered their word filter, and if you can believe it, actually found a way to make it even more inane, byzantine, and downright stupid. Yahoo execs are scared of words. We're not, but they are, and they wet themselves if you say anything too REAL.
