  • mattcoady, on 03/05/2008, -1/+68Did anyone else just discover that ***** and anal are composed from the same buttons?
  • jesuswuzanalien, on 03/05/2008, -6/+71You guys need to get the blackberry pearl. After I used it once I can say ***** piss ***** ***** ***** mother ***** all I want.

  • tylerelliott, on 03/05/2008, -4/+38Sips off you ducking yanker
  • schmitey, on 03/05/2008, -6/+37Ah those British! You'd never see anything this clever on american television....even when the writers AREN'T on strike.
  • nbcaffeine, on 03/05/2008, -1/+22no
  • naich, on 03/05/2008, -0/+19It's Armstrong and Miller - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Armstrong_and_Mil ...
  • u8myfoood, on 03/05/2008, -1/+19Stupid predictive text... always outputting "*****" instead of Phosphatidylinositol glycan, class T!
  • jcraig, on 03/05/2008, -3/+17You would but it would be adapted from the original British version and not be as funny.
  • tylerelliott, on 03/05/2008, -3/+17bury this one
  • ATH025, on 03/05/2008, -1/+15Uhh... my phone allows me to ADD words to the dictionary specifically for this purpose.
  • seantubridy, on 03/05/2008, -2/+15Duck off. You can all go to he'll.
  • DangerMouse9, on 03/05/2008, -1/+14You mean it's 8 seconds old?

    You do realize that on the internet, anything older than 60 minutes is old, and not all of us spend our lives on-line, so while it may be old to you, it's new to someone so ***** off.
  • cigawoot, on 03/05/2008, -1/+13don't you mean duck off?
  • Otto, on 03/05/2008, -3/+15Not sure how Blink 182 comes into it, because the list is originally from George Carlin.
  • bromac, on 03/05/2008, -1/+12The seven words you can't say...on your phone?
  • IllBeBack, on 03/05/2008, -1/+12Yeah man, what the he'll is up with that?!
    DOH!
  • boredsam, on 03/05/2008, -6/+16"Piss ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** and *****" - George Carlin
    "Piss ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** fart turd and *****...... I ***** your mom" - Blink 182
  • nbcaffeine, on 03/05/2008, -4/+13Good comedy - George Carlin
    Bad music - Blink 182
  • kxmjb, on 03/05/2008, -2/+11I am so tired of people saying stuff is old! Damn, if everyone had seen it, then it wouldn't have become popular.
  • GameMonkey, on 03/05/2008, -6/+15I know that ducking shiv is so ducking annoying.
  • ncapone, on 03/05/2008, -3/+11Please, stop commenting.
  • triplescoop, on 03/06/2008, -0/+8Actually, I was going for: "I just anal ***** your mom and got ***** all over my *****!!!"

    But don't feel bad, maybe jokes aren't your thing.
  • coleki, on 03/05/2008, -0/+7heh... penis shows up "remis" but vagina shows up vagina.
  • XxbladesfirexX, on 03/05/2008, -1/+8Texting gives you the rare opportunity to not have to hear someones annoying voice, and still communicate effectively with them. I thinks it's more of an evolutionary adaptation than "modern day morse code."
  • waydee, on 03/05/2008, -0/+7Whats the alternative?

    Besides, on most phones if you manually spell out a word once it'll be added to the T9 dictionary and the more you use it the higher up it will appear in suggestions.
  • kiddirt, on 03/05/2008, -1/+7Texting is yet another method in which we lose real social contact. If someone texts you and you aren't there to see their body language or hear the way they pronounce the words, the actual original meanings can be lost or misinterpreted. I hate using text messages. Chicks don't get my sense of humour. Unless you put a smiley face on the end of the text.
    Bitches loooove smiley faces
  • phybere, on 03/05/2008, -3/+8What, people are still using T9 mode and auto-completion?
    That's so early 2000's
  • cheeze_ballz, on 03/05/2008, -0/+4it takes a bit, but it's not too difficult. i think after a week, i felt pretty comfortable on mine...i get very few words wrong any more.
  • Travelsonic, on 03/05/2008, -0/+4No, that is derived from George Carlin's controvertial "Seven Wors You Can Never Say on Television" - Class Clown album, 1972.
  • lrdntwnd, on 03/05/2008, -0/+4You just need to teach it better. instead of using backspace, tap the suggestion and it'll disappear... do it enough times and it should learn not to do it... at least it did for me...
  • smrekar, on 03/05/2008, -0/+3i was thinking this. well for other purposes' as well
  • inactive, on 03/05/2008, -10/+13Texting is modern day morse code. We are all idiots.
  • paidhima, on 03/05/2008, -1/+4It's been a while since I saw some of Carlin's older specials, but I'm pretty sure he amends his original list to include fart, turd and ***** in one of them.
  • dulymachine, on 03/05/2008, -1/+4Goddammit you're such an elitist *****.
  • topbob, on 03/05/2008, -1/+4Laugh track fails.
  • thebrokenlight, on 03/05/2008, -0/+3At least it recognizes that '*****' is actually a word.
  • decker12, on 03/05/2008, -0/+2That's destined to become a CLbuttIC video, I love it how the actors just buttUME that people never type swear words into their mobile phones.
  • Travelsonic, on 03/05/2008, -0/+2Why is this getting buried?

    It's absolutely right.

    G.C amended the list to include fart, turd, and ***** at one point.
  • gmiley, on 03/05/2008, -1/+2Any Windows Mobile device with an actual QWERTY keyboard is better than the T9, or whatever it is. I can type pretty damn fast on mine and not have to worry about it guessing the wrong word.
  • joltjake, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1I believe it is "***** piss ***** ***** ***** sucker mother ***** ***** fart turd guess what...... I ***** your mom" - Blink 182
  • Zihuatanejo, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1Would anyone like to play a game of adds song?
  • veri745, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTyzTJTNhNk
    I think Blink 182 wrote that stuff after 1978
  • Cofaloaf, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1earmuffs.
  • aceslick911, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1this is actually the first time i've seen a video submitted that i've already seen and dugg before... but who cares? ***** funny and lots of people missed it first time round
  • Wolfgarden, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1If the world was a cellphone you would be a text message.
  • 25cents, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1IDK, my BFF Jill?
  • flatlinebb, on 03/05/2008, -1/+2Dugg for a George Carlin reference.
  • knde, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1The only difference is that you may have to actually look at the keyboard while typing, until you get used to it. I always kept my eye on the screen and not the keyboard with non-qwerty phones.

    I use the BP 8120 and it really is a neat phone.
