You know, I could swear one of the Admin (or whatever) people at [www.whatsbetter.com](http://www.whatsbetter.com) has gone through the items replacing the names with **less witty** alternatives.

I posted a picture of two ugly inbred guys with the title “sexy twins” when I found the submittal the title was replaced with their factual name (can’t remember off the top of my head) And someone had posted a picture of a won minesweeper game with the title “Beating minespeeper” I just came across it again - the title is now 'Minesweeper". And I have seen many more examples of this that I can’t remember off the top of my head.

Eh, just guessing that it’s to keep their website being blocked by language filters. Most filters look for the word “sex” anyway, and “beating off” in the U.S. is a synonym for “masturbating”.
