"Yeah, Baby!"

Another embarrassing moment for Apple and their iPhone. A woman from Orange Park said she can't get her phone fixed, because Apple's automated software doesn't like her last name.
Sandy Burdick told our news partner Channel 4 the Apple website would not let her set an appointment to have her phone fixed, because of her last name.
"It stopped me. It said, 'You have put in an inappropriate word in this line.' I thought I must have a typo," she said.
Burdick's son even called customer service, and he claims they told him they couldn't do anything about it. "She paused for a second. She couldn't even put it in her system," he said.
The company said it's looking into the problem.
The system was obviously designed to block “obscene” words. Probably has a politically correct filter too.
Welcome to FR, by the way.
I put in ad to sell a motorcycle in a local paper. The ad was rejected as having an offensive word because I mentioned the bike had a “sissy bar.”
really ?, sorry. i will read it again
Yet for some reason, if you tell them your name is Charlie C*cksucker from Florida running for a Senate seat, you get pronto service.
I feel depressed lately, idk what to eat to improve my memory, it’s been short lately. i do not remember anything.
*sigh*, need advices, but can’t post an article on FR
A couple of weeks ago, I was in a watering hole with some friends and we were playing a video game. One of my friends got a high score and wanted to put his name into the ‘Hall of Fame’. It would not accept the name ‘Dick’, which as everyone knows is a nickname for Richard and the name my friend goes by.
Curiously, it did let us input the name ‘Donnys B*lls’.
"Yeah, Baby!"
just too damn funny. I needed a laugh tonight. Thanks.
I truly feel sad for the woman's issue, butt....
Guess she is lucky her first name wasn't ‘shaggy’.
LOL.
Yeah, this is the price we pay for all the ‘political correctness crap’.
Just keep on giving the condoms to the grade school kids 0Dumbo...That will save us...
God save us from ourselves.
Too bad Obama’s first name isn’t Dick.
I’d love to see “President **** Obama” in print everywhere.
or Dixit.
LOL!
That is exactly why a certain John Footpenis changed his last name to Hancock.
No more terrorist, only, “man caused disasters..”
No more golfing, only, “clearing my mind..”
No more freedom of religion, only, “freedom of worship..”
Never had a motorcycle, however, when I was a kid, my bicycle had a my banana seat, “faux leopards skin pattern” and a home made a sissy bar. It was stolen the second day after my parents gave it to me for my 10th B-day. Oh well, I lived in Detroit then. What else would you expect.
I like it!
RE: “Chained Heat”. If it’s legally possible, I bet it’s being filmed as we speak.
