I agree, this is LAME. Instead of stopping people from mentioning the phrase, now EVERYONE is going to be talking about it. I can imagine the Tonight Show Dialogue already. How about David Letterman's "Top Ten reasons why Apple is full of shit!"

I'm sure artists and developers will speak out against this. Lawsuits will soon begin.

Apple knows best. Siri censors the 'worlds best smartphone'. Can we really trust big-brother? It's getting more difficult every day.
