Yahoo doesn't like Allah
February 21, 2006 ( politics )
From slashdot, it seems that Yahoo doesn't allow the string "allah" (among a few others) to exist in screen names (which annoys entire families named Callahan):

Jesus, Nazi, yahweh, Jehovah and other more offensive ones get through just fine, though.
In fact, I just signed up for nazi_paraphernalia@yahoo.fr . I love the Internet.
