Photobucket is generally very good and easy to use. However, it has recently engaged in political censorship. For example, they won't let you post anything related to Nazis anymore (including pics of historical rallies, the swastika flag, etc.).

I had posted those images for irony, to compare with the current Obamamania, but apparently the censors are either machines, or have no understanding of political satire.

BTW, I'll try doing the same thing with COMMUNIST propaganda symbols, and I'm anxious to see if the Photobucket censors are equally as eager to delete those...

oh, I didn’t know about that. I understand your reasoning for using them for that purpose...but I guess there is no way for them to know. Do you allow your pictures to be publicly viewed at random? If I recall correctly, when I set up my account, I selected keep mine private....if yours is public, someone could have complained. If you change it to private, and reuse one of the pics, it’d be interesting if they censor it.

When did that start? Did they refuse to let you post the pictures, or did they take them down sometime after you posted them, possibly in response to some libtard's complaint?

I've got a couple of photos hosted there, one titled Nazi Women and one Nazi Crowd, along with an Obama Crowd pic and an Obama Women pic (they look shockingly similar, except for color vs black and white).

I also have one of Augusto Pinochet, sitting, in sunglasses and uniform and backed by his generals, titled simply Gus.
