iReport Censorship: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

Until now, CrazyCueball has never posted a serious iReport. His posts are all attempts at humor, some succeeding in this regard and others failing, at times badly. He has had three iReports "yanked" for apparent violations of community standards. Fine. His most recent iReport, "More Shocking Than Bigfoot", showing the picture of an overweight person's butt and calling it "Bigbutt", was delayed in being posted for almost a day. Again, fine. However, now that it is posted, it cannot be searched for or found on the iReport timeline. Try searching for words that are clearly within its text (eg, "bigfoot", "bigbutt", "shocking"), and this iReport will not come up. Here's the link: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-60861 - prove it for yourself.

This is a sneaky tactic on behalf of iReport and/or CNN, letting an iReport that they don't like be posted but not making it searchable. Shame on them for such censorship! Even if you hate CrazyCueball's posts (and I know many of you do), you should be appalled at censorship in any form, especially on a "news" website. DON'T DRINK THE IREPORT KOOL-AID!!!
