Arnie's coded message

Too subtle for the Terminator?

Story from the Daily Mail - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1223522/Schwarzeneggers-secret-message-How-Arnie-rebuked-Tom-Ammiano-clever-crptic-curse.html

Arnie has apparently used a very subtle coded message to tell the Californian Legislature where to go - intentional or way to subtle for the former muscle man???

He's known more for his muscles than his wordplay - but never underestimate the cunning of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The California governor has rebuked a lawmaker with a clever hidden curse that his wily aides are passing off as a 'coincidence'.

The rebuke - hidden in a message explaining when Mr Schwarzenegger had vetoed a bill - was found by stringing together the first letter of each line down the left hand margin.

The recipient started it:

Schwarzenegger's press secretary, Aaron McLear, insisted Tuesday it was simply a "weird coincidence." He sent us veto messages the governor sent out in the past with linguistic lineups such as "soap" and "poet," which he said were also unintended.

"Something like this was bound to happen," McLear said.

Maybe. But the veto message came after Ammiano called the governor a liar and shouted from the audience to "kiss my gay ass" when Schwarzenegger unexpectedly showed up at a Democratic Party dinner in San Francisco on Oct. 7.

Why is the American press such a bunch of wimps.

What's with F-Bomb, why can't they simply print the word Fuck, F-Bomb sounds so completely sophomoric.

Yes it is just the American media that has editorial guidelines:

The BBC is to crack down on the use of strong language and the depiction of aggressive behaviour in TV, radio and online, in a wide-ranging overhaul of the corporation's editorial guidelines in the wake of a string of scandals.

The BBC Trust today unveiled the guidelines which include a toughening-up of the use of three of the strongest words in the English language – "cunt", "motherfucker" and "fuck" – which must be referred and approved by an output controller at the BBC who "should consider the editorial justification".

Germans probably would too if their swearing didn't sound so weak and effeminate.
