I never realised it did that with Scnuthorpe !

Funny:lol

Origin and history[edit]

The problem was named after an incident in 1996 in which AOL's profanity filter prevented residents of the town of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, England from creating accounts with AOL, because the town's name contains the substring cunt.[1] Years later, Google's filtersapparently made the same mistake, preventing residents from searching for local businesses that included Scunthorpe in their names.[2]
