WOW! what a pain that will be to try and duplicate...  I wouldn't even 
try and take out the swear words, there are just too many that you can 
come up with, especially being an international thing.  I came up time 
at least 20 of the in a minute.  Plus I was looking forward to try to 
hid a really bad quality cache and have it be GCSHIT.
In any case, well just have to sit back and see what the heck they are 
doing, and modify our site accordingly.
