... (mon nom).

This faternoon I dwonloaded a lille plug-in fro MSN Messenger and noticed that MSN has profiles even for free HoTMaiL users. I clicked on my profile page and noticed that my nickname was "WilliamHsu101601".

"Hurgh", I thought. I changed it to "Banazîr" and clicked "Save". MSN balked...



The name you typed uses prohibited language.

"What?!" I thought.

I thried entering my LJ URL, banazir, and discovered:
This word is not allowed: "NAZI". Please rephrase the following section or leave it blank: Home Page.

Welp, I guess some MSN programmer put the "Nazi" in "Banazîr". Go ahead, sue me, Microsoft, I daaaaaaaaare yew.

Meanwhile, MSN was offering me lalsorta alternative handles:

• Redundant: SmallishJediHobbit


• Oxymoronic: HumongousJediHobbit


• Inaccurate: ChunkyJediHobbit


• Unfortunate: CappedJediHobbit


• Embarrassing: DishierJediHobbit


• Oddly apropos: ChocolateJediHobbit


• Just plain weird: QuiltedJediHobbit

I have decided to go with JediHobbitTEUNC, but...



If I ever discover who's responsible fro MSN's family filter, I am fedinately banning him or her from nonstewpit. :-)

Doodyheads!
