Which words or names qualify for asterixation?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) December 25th, 2011

Last evening, in a British comedy quiz show, they talked about this tv listing software that filters ‘rude’ words and names and replaces the bad parts of those words by asterixes.
Amongst them were A***enal (Arsenal), Hanc**k (Hancock), Sc**thorpe (Scunthorpe).
Can you name some words and/or names that could qualify to get this asterix treatment?
They also said that a similar software in America changed Tyson Gay’s name, thus producing a newspaper header that wrote Homosexual eases into Olympic 100m dash final.
