ChewingGumVolley Podcast = Explicit????

What in the heck is going on here? Now I see that the ChewingGumVolley podcast is marked as explicit in iTunes (in RED of course, gotta make sure people are warned!). What are they planning to do? Mark every podcast explicit where the host uses a four letter word? Or even worse: talks about sex?

I even heard somebody say that the 49Media podcast gets marked as explicit in iTunes, although it hasn't happened in my iTunes. How do they figure this out? Do they scan the post descriptions for 'bad' words? Or do they have something that can actually smell explicit stuff? What exactly is 'explicit'?

This is really getting weird.

    Hey Chris, it's Pete here! I changed the flag on my libsyn page to 'adult'. I was just messing about. OOOPS!

    Changed it back now.

    Though it probably is explicit I guess. Mwa ha ha

    Keep up the GERRRREAT WORK!
