"As Kasparov spoke a toy ****** with wings buzzed across the hall and around him. It was not clear who was behind the stunt."

Yes, that's Kasparov the world's best chess player being pestered by a flying ****** while he rants against the Kremlin. 

there's also footage :) http://gizmodo.com/391794/flying-rc-penis-disrupts-garry-kasparov-speech

 Is this in the real world, or has Kasparov taken up Second Life?

A flying Karpov?

Seriously, I had to look at the original page to see whether they'd used SIX asterisks there, and actually it's not censored there at all. [Edit: Not in my browser anyway. What kind of censorship algorithm changes a five-letter word into 6 asterisks?]

In any case, Kasparov's he's not going to be put off by a mere flying ******. I'd have gone in there with at least three flying ******s, and a big flashing ****.

Seriously, what ***** censor filter would consider ***** a offending word? And what ********* censor filter works with ****script (I suppose) and then does not work in Firefox but only in ** I'm going to play an as.sas.sin again today with Neverwinter Nights 2 online browser.

Much better article

Even has a Youtube video!

"penis" is not censored on the indiatimes site for me... Bah I'm going to have to post as there is no preview button...

(I've changed what I wrote, as no-one mentioned "penis" I assumed TDWTF was censoring it!) 

Zemm:

Is it just me

Yes.

Actually, it is. Maybe it's only your mind that replaces every ****** with ******.
