Well, if it's stupid enough one can put null HTML tags in to confuse the
filter, else have a tiny .png for each word you want to say. Writing a
filter would be two minutes' work.
It's a hassle that normal web-authors shouldn't have to go through, and no
use in preventing people from publishing "obscene" content.
