 thats so silly its funny!
"Whakatane, to the system, sounds like an F-word."
I can see how that would happen though, if you didnt know the pronounciation, which they obviously dont being american.
"The content filter is an American-based product, and it does a phonetic analysis of what has been typed in," he said.

Hehe that reminds me of an episode of Rove a while back. He couldn't believe Whaka was allowed to be said on TV here and dared John Campbell to say it on his show.
John was like "Whaka, Whaka, Whaka! There you go you cheeky little Aussie"
