The notice from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) was received by three Pakistani cell phone carriers -- Mobilink, Warid and Telenor -- this week, officials at the companies confirmed. The PTA calls for carriers to implement the ban, which would mean blocking text messages containing the offending words, within seven days of the notice, which was dated Monday. Most of the banned words were deemed sexually explicit or obscene by the PTA, the officials said. The words include "taxi" -- often used to refer to prostitutes in Pakistan -- "gay," "tongue," "homosexual," "intercourse," "condom" and "hole."In the notice, the PTA -- the agency that regulates cell phone and internet carriers in Pakistan -- cited a law that bans the transmission of indecent and obscene messages. The notice says the banned words are part of an effort to cut down on spam and unsolicited text messages, the officials said.Omar Manzur, a spokesman for Mobilink, told CNN his firm is reviewing the notice, which it received Thursday, and plans to respond to the regulatory authority. Last month, the PTA banned thousands of websites containing pornography. [/QUOTE] 1500 FUCKING WORDS?!?!
[quote]"gay," "tongue," "homosexual," "intercourse," "condom" and "hole."[/quote] So I can't discuss my latest happy tongue piercing while practicing safe man-sex watching the movie Holes? Such is life in Pakistan.
"Hey Greg, wanna go have a gay old time at our usual watering hole? My wife's coming, she got a tongue piercing you just HAVE to see! Also, my brother's high school is doing some intercourse credit sharing system, which is great news considering he needs to get his grades back up to par. Wanna take a taxi?"

[QUOTE=jeimizu;33365293]some of the other bizarre things that are blocked athlete's foot head lights idiot[/QUOTE] That's weird. Maybe they're slang for sexual terms in Pakistan or something.

756. POOR WHITE TRASH Good to see that was banned but 1,500 words is just stupid. [editline]a[/editline] "JesusChrist" is banned but not Allah. 267. DATNIGGA What?
[QUOTE=Stupideye;33365022]and the US is good allies with these idiots because?[/QUOTE] They're an extremely useful regional partner in Afghanistan. To be honest the US would probably want nothing to do with them if it wasn't for Al Qaeda/Taliban.
Flogging a dolphin.
This is literally a waste of time and resources, and can be easily bypassed. Just goes to show you how out of touch Pakistan's government is.

Why would you even say "DATNIGGA"? First time I ever saw that word. Most of these are just swears mixed up no one would even say (in this case text) or everyday words that people [i]may[/i] find obscene. Oh god. "Man hater" is banned but not woman-.
