Yeah, it was approved for featuring a few months ago. I think a few of us were talking about trying to get Dev featured at the time? It's pretty spiffy. Fuck that, it's unreal. This will get Dev considerably more publicity. It's just a bit shit that he's trying to move away from that style of music and from that article people are going to associate him immediately with Strapping. Oh well. Any news is good news when it comes to the media I suppose!

Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and cunt.


No shit Sherlock. :lol:

hahaha, I was trying to work out why it was like that. It looked copy and pasted, but then there wouldn't be a mistake, and I didn't get why you'd have typed it out, and even then if you had, its still pretty random.

So vagina and butt get censored, but penis doesn't?

That's fucking sexist.
