Ummm..apparentley you missed the thread where the initials for Jewish American Princess were deemed unacceptable 'shorthand' for Japanese and filtered.
'Nips' seems to be okay 'short' for Nipponese...for now...go figure...

Exactly the observation I was making. I know the acceptance of the "J" word has been debated here in the past..I was just surprised that the "other" word got through no problem.

Sorry, I took a wee-bit artistic license Steve..I was being facetious prodding the point...

The point is the paper didn't say "NIPS QUIT". It said the other, so if I had sent in a picture of the front page in would it have been censored also?

Thanks for posting that stuff. You may want to see if one of the local Air Museums would be intersted in them.

Well, one of the front pages I posted says "American Subs Sink Three <J> Ships." I guess as long as the word is used or shown in a historical context it's OK. Kinda like nose art..a WWII vintage pic of a nekkid girl on an airplane is fine here, but I doubt that a straight-up present day girlie pic would be acceptable.

Good point, now if I can get some six year old to show me how to post pictures we can give it a try.
