FHK SitRep 12.09.07: Fark wants to trademark “NSFW”?

You know the feeling…you’re sitting at your desk at work, and one of your friends sends you to a link that you open, only to find out that you shouldn’t have opened “THAT” one at work! Maybe, for example, it’s a story from Jihad Watch, and you work in an office where everyone including your boss (who walked by your desk about the time a story with a title that doesn’t meet the new “diversity” guidelines) your boss is a proud member of the leftist-islamist convergence.

Your buddy could have helped you keep your job by adding the acronym “NSFW,” which means “Not Safe for Work.” This has been a common term on the web for some time now, but the social psdeudo-news site, Fark.com, in e-mail, and on social networks. Now Fark, where the general feeling is that the phrase originated there. Pehaps it, did.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
