I wonder if whatever censor approved the final headline didn't notice the URL, or just thought it wouldn't offend anyone?

I can't imagine an Ars reader being offended by the word "pimp", considering they occasionally use quite strong profanity in the meat of their posts.

Even if they redirect to a new url, there are still links everywhere using the original url which they probably wouldn't want to break.
