F***king Headlines: News organizations struggle with expletive in popular Web site's
name

"How does a mainstream news organization write about a profane and popular Web site?
We searched various news organizations' archives to see how they handled news
coverage of Philip "Pud" Kaplan's F***edCompany.com Web site.

"Asterisks were the most popular and the message comes across as clear as a middle
finger gestured to you from a New York City cab driver. Some news organizations
apparently felt more asterisks protected readers' sensitive eyes."
