I don't know where this whole thing is right now, but apparently the Pakistani government had told mobile carriers to ban 1,600 words from texts. The list is here. Like I said, they may still be doing this or not, but I was thoroughly amused by the list.

Krispy Kreme is fucked b/c you can't text a friend to meet for glazed donuts.

This was also circulated a while back as "1600 words you can't put on an NFL jersey"
