Urban Censorship

(n) a suppression of certain types of definitions without explanation on a supposedly free Internet forum

Sometimes new definitions submitted to this website become ghost posts; this is a form of Urban Censorship. One tends to wonder why a short and simple definition for one-termer was confirmed but never posted while a huge definition for Operation Iraqi Freedom that rambles on an on for several pages is allowed to remain.

first amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Martin Sheen, Tim Robbins, and Susan "Saranwrap" are all covered by the First Amendment even if some people don't agree with what they say.

ghost post

(n) an entry posted to urbandictionary.com with a strong editorial slant that mysteriously never appears on the website

Despite having received confirmation of my definition for "one-termer" and a message that the definition will appear in the next 24 hours, it never does. Considering the level of incoherent gibberish that does get posted, one has to wonder how my entry became a ghost post. Can an entry be posted, recommended for deletion, voted on, and deleted in less than 48 hours? I seriously doubt it.

(Chances are you won't see this definition either.)

suicider

(n) one that suicides, is currently in the process of suiciding, or has suicided in the past

"Freedom will prevail, so long as the United States and allies don't give the people of Iraq mixed signals, so long as we don't cower in the face of suiciders, or do what many Iraqis still suspect might happen, and that is cut and run early, like what happened in '91" - George W. Bush (quoted by Bill Sammon in The Washington Times 5/10/04)

DC101

(n) a station owned by Clear Channel that plays the same 4 songs every hour, at least one of which is always "Man in the Box"

DJs on DC101 play songs as dictated by a computer. How long before Clear Channel decides it's cheaper just to use the DJ Master 2000?

didiot

Etymology: Used in Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations"

(n) one who blindly and uncritically agrees with everything that comes out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth

See also dittohead

The most frustrating thing about debating a didiot is that the source they cite for all their information is Rush Limbaugh, a man not known for his integrity.

Clear Channel

(n) a wealthy right-wing religious conservative group that hopes to clear all channels of independent thought from the airwaves by purchasing every radio station in the country and silencing any opinions that conflict with their extreme Republican agenda

It's really interesting how Clear Channel all of a sudden considers Howard Stern to be obscene so soon after he starting spewing anti-Bush propaganda.
