The Pakistani government has announced this week that it will begin to censor texting in the nation.
If ultimately successful, the move will block Pakistani citizens from 'obscenities' like "Jesus Christ" and "Sex."
All together, there are 1600 'obscene' terms and the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority has already told carriers to begin blocking texts from November 21 and forward.
The policy is in response to multiple consumer complaints from citizens receiving "graphic texts."
1100 of the terms are in English while the rest are in Urdu, Pakistan's native language.
The true out-roar comes from the choice of words, which include relatively and benign terms like "poop," "fairy, "athlete's foot," and "harder."
