Google Censors The F**king Web

I thought that I would let Google run some of their ads on this site. I did so believing that the web is a free environment - not Christian Democrat, Rebublican, Sharia, Neo Fascist or any other ist or ism, - and knowing that google are planning on putting online every book that has been published I was a little surprised to find that certain words, and no doubt thoughts, are off limits. This is the email Google sent me.

Hello Xavier,

Thank you for your email.

we can. Unfortunately, after reviewing www.xavierleret.com, we are unable
to accept it into our AdSense programme at this time for reasons related
to:

- Inappropriate language

And this is what I sent back.

Ah fuck shit piss

Are the people who approve these policies the same as those who approve the turning in of dissidents.

Thank them for waving at me from the moral high ground.

Regards and understandingly,
