Comment On XXXXXXXXXXXX

Hey Alex, you forgot to anonymous the insurance bill.

Jeroen, I'm pretty sure your insurance company is asking you to send kisses...

All I've gotta say is XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX

Hey, I need something to control my man oil.

I just opened my greader to have a look at old the old "Error'd-posts" and now this. I think you´re in my brain now. I realy should build an aluminium helmet.

The XXXXXXXX one is NOT a WTF! presumably mr. submitter did not submit the entire letter. The yellow form is normally signed by the person owing the money, so the bank can transfer the money. In this case the health insurer had probably given the submitter money in return, but "had" to send one of these letters, marking the yellow form with X's for the recipient's benefit.

The sun may rise in the east,
At least it settles in the final location.

Depressingly, I'd already marked this down as "yet another Bert Glanstron comment" before I realised all the letters were X.

Alex, I'm not allowed to view XXX rated material at work, much less all this XXXXXXXXX stuff! Please put things like this behind some kind of NSFW warning next time. If I get fired over this... well I'll have more time to read TDWTF I guess.

Don't you think you should have redacted his name and address, at least?

Just what the hell is Man Oil?

I'm not sure, but if it is what I'm thinking, I understand why you'd want to control its range.

It's... well... uh.

Maybe it's better if you asked your daddy about this, okay?

Do you really want to know? You'll find it on some XXX sites.

It says, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Informix. The selected locale/codeset will result in performance degradation. For optimum performance, UGGGGHHHHH"

I think someone killed the guy who was about to write the secret to "optimum performance".

Obviously it's in Roman numerals. ЄXXXX.XX is 40 Euros and 20 Eurolets (are Euro pence called Eurolets? If not, why not?).

They're called Euro-cents, presumably because "cents" was already taken.

Why does Bart Kuik's picture looks so weird? There's even a floating chimney there.

A Euro pence is called a Eurine. FACT.

Nobody would write, "UGGGGHHHHH", they'd just say it!

the beholder:

Well, the floating chimney can be explained as a part of the building that is behind the display, however it does look like they set up a giant backdrop between the display and the building behind it with a poorly drawn scene from another city.

A part of me says that the display is just a retail POS display and they snapped a picture of it in front of a model backdrop to make it look like an electronic billboard gone awry. But then several of the details in the picture and on the display lead me to believe that it really is an electronic billboard.

The selected locale/codeset will result in performance degradation. For optimum performance...

Why is this a WTF? Doesn't everyone know you need to just: Please do the necessary.

What's up with the third picture? Yeah yeah we've all seen windows errors on public displays but what is going on in the background? Is that some ground to building height billboard picture of a nice building to hide the shitty one behind it or just photoshopped?

What is "[SUBPUP] Perspective error" and what does it have to do with horrible photoshopping?

That's not an Error'd. The bill is probably settled automatically and the standard form is overwritten with X's to prevent the customer to accidentally use the form to make another payment.

This happens all the time on my bills.

Actually, it's a cosmetic for men.

It's still pretty weird, though.

Pay to: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The order of: $XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.xx
Memo: If you cannot cash this check properly, please ERROR
X: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I do believe that's the most OS-neutral error'd posting I've ever seen. Windows, Linux, and Macs, all showing their best (or worst) in the same post. Kudos!

Toon:

It's still pretty silly. Putting x's over the amount and account number is what is usually done, and is entirely sufficient. Here they've unnecessarily filled everything with x's, even the information field and the stub (except, for some odd reason, the account number).

Adding comment instead.

XXXXXX? It's censorship, you know. Censorship gone mad.

And the worst thing about censorship is XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX.

I believe it is just a nice city scene painted on the side of a building in order to make a run down (I mean, "working class") neighborhood look not so bad.

No, no. It's Aaauugghh. In the back of the throat.

The XXXXXXXXXXXX thing is not a WTF. This is similar to the IRC password incident. See, when you see XXXXXXXXXXXX (a medical condition), I actually see XXXXXXXXXXXX. It's the latest technology being used across the globe so that personal medical information remains anonymous in real life and on the internet.

For example, I've been diagnosed with XXXXXXXXXXXX, but I'm not afraid to submit that, because it's automatically hidden from you guys.

Heh, I do like the spam one. I keep a folder of all the most amusing spam I've gotten, and that beats them all. For instance, I do have one from a few years ago with no attachment, and a body consisting entirely of:
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit

Also one with a title of "(no subject)", and a base64-encoded file in the body (no, I did *not* decode it to see what they sent me.)

Then I have one whose title informs me that it will impart secrets on "how to always be full of beans", but that's different.
