No families harmed in the writing of this post

Last week I entered one of our posts into a blog carnival. It was not a great post, so I was unsure if it would make it into the carnival.

It did not. However it was not due to the quality of the content. It’s all thanks to my idea of a clever domain name…

I’m sorry, but I can’t include you in the carnival of personal finance until you get a family friendly domain name.

Yes, it is true. Shafted due to domain name. Isn’t censorship funny? And isn’t “family friendly” much like beauty and “in the eye of the beholder?”

If you’d like a refresher course on family-friendliness, check out what Wikipedia has to say about it:

Entertainment or information is called “family friendly” if it considered suitable for the whole family. In particular it means that it is not considered harmful for children, which may imply restrictions on engagement in, or depiction of, nudity, sex, violence, horror, crude language, etc.

Consider this a shout-out to all of the children out there reading this, a personal finance blog, because kids love those.

And for the record, we harbor no hostility towards families - just giraffes and hedgehogs.
