Why did you censor the word “French?”

    Or are you just not sure how to spell it, so you inserted a placeholder?

  • It’s a fairly widespread Internet meme, I think in order to make fun of France, though I’m not sure exactly where it originated.

    Maybe someone can get upset by reading that word? On a serious note, though, on my first semester at graphic design a teacher once told us that some day (here in Bogotá, Colombia) a punk wearing a jacket or something with a struck though swastica waiting for the bus near the uni. Some old lady saw him and the swastica and passed out on the spot. Apparently she was a jewish migrant or something. I never even imagined such things could happen here but the point was to be aware of the things you use in your communications
