Banned In Botswana!

Let's face it... Prevuze has done some pretty despicable things to the poor creatures who live in Salem. We've called them names. We've had them say things they never said – nasty things. We've put the characters in situations they have never been in, and made fun of them until it hurts (hurts with laughter, we hope). And, oh, how we love to bring up their checkered pasts. In short, we've done everything we could to be sarcastic, cutting, even downright mean. And through all this, our loyal readers have taken it in stride and kept coming back for more.

But there was one time when... OMG, Prevuze crossed the line. We published a picture that brought the wrath of God down upon us. It started the Great Reader Revolt of 2006. CONGRESS CENSURED PREVUZE! WE WERE BANNED IN BOTSWANA! CENSORED IN CARLSBAD! OSTRACIZED IN OREGON AND BLACKBALLED IN BILOXI!

It was this picture that prompted us to come up with the "CENSORED" warning you've seen here many times to warn readers the material may be considered offensive by those who are wusse... uh, sensitive. It also places the responsibility for looking at the picture on YOU, the reader, and leaves Prevuze as pure as the driven snow.

What could it have been? What could Prevuze, the most sarcastic blog on the web, have done to go far beyond its usual brand of mischief and incur such wrath? Was it obscene? No. Was it violent? No. Did it use foul language? No. All we did was show the blurry, angelic face of a little kid. And here it is, from Wedensday, February 1, 2006, the day Prevuze was really naughty:



Sigh... Wish they all could be that good...
