OTTAWA (AFP) – Canada’s second-oldest magazine, The Beaver, is changing its name after 90 years because the title is too often censored by online porn filters, preventing it from reaching new online readers.”
“”Several readers asked us to change the title because their spam filters at home or at work were blocking it,” she said. “I’ve even had emails bounce back because I had inadvertently typed the term in the heading.””
“But in modern times, the term “beaver” has become slang for women’s genitals.”
