Pakistan Bans Rude Words from Text Messages

Cellphone carriers in Pakistan have been ordered to block text messages containing any of the 15,000 words the government lists as explicit and obscene. Banned words include fart, idiot, fondle, hole, tongue, taxi, and headlights Huh. Oh, and jesus.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?

Censorship is riddled with problems. Deciding which words to ban doesn't seem so hard until you consider context. While 'balls' might be offensive, it might also be used in a children's story. But 'Jesus'!? Really!?

Jesus! these idiot farts want me to hold my tongue, but taxi that! I'll fondle your headlights!
