I haven't really been paying attention to this kind of crap, but I assume that the addition of this nice little * to the word f*ck has been going on for a while. How exactly does this do anything? Are there people who see "f*ck" and wonder what that star means? Are there people who feel better about the word not actually being spelled, but simply implied? What the f*ck is the point?
Edit: Wow, it doesn't even censor the thread title. Epic fail.
