Either it has been re-written between your post and my reading or you read it wrong, as the rules' page just say: "Discriminatory jokes and language." which isn't such a huge constraint. > I know it, because I've been there - in a country, that nothing could > have been published or publicly presented (including live > performances) without prior approval from the censorship office of > People Republic of Poland.
