Thanks for looking- (Funny Video of Christian and Steven soon after hurricane Katrina taking a pizza break while repairs are being done to house. )

I recently asked a question if anybody likes the Swedish folk music artist *********-*****, but this question was immediately deleted and 10 points removed from my account !!!
The field “Violation reason” was left blank in the Yahoo violation email, so I don’t really understand how on earth this question could be considered so offensive it had to be deleted!
Here are the only 3 reasons I can possible think of:
1.
This artist has a very unusual (ethnic) artist name (probably the only artist name in the world containing 6 k’s), but how can this be considered offensive, even by sensitive Americans?
Or is Yahoo perhaps racists?
2.
The other reason for violation might be the supplied y o u t u b e link, with an excerpt from an old Swedish move (from 1963) where the artist participates “as himself”, singing for some ladies. Is this perhaps considered offensive in the American mind, or a copyright violation?
(In any way it can’t very well be a Hollywood copyright issue, since the excerpt is from a Swedish film, and Sweden has a lot more liberal copyright laws than USA).
3.
There was also included the Swedish lyrics and name of the song he is singing, just to supply full information.
However, the question itself was in English, so that shouldn’t be a problem (or was it?)
PS:
If you want to know the (uncensored) name of the artist and reading the violation email (including the contents of the original question) then you can email me and ask for it.
I’m sorry I can’t publish it directly here, but then *this* question will probably also be considered a violation!
I might add that although not everybody likes the music from this artist, he was during his lifetime highly respected in Sweden since he traveled around and visited old and sick
people and sung for them, and donated his fees to charity.
(My old Christian grandmother liked him very much, and as a kid I often listened to his music with her…).
It’s not that I won’t accept a justified violation notice if I’m asking something inappropriate, but I think it is very rude and uncivilized by Yahoo to not even state the reason for a supposed violation, and also sending out standardized “deny-replies” to appeals. (I actually suspect it’s an automatic process and there are no real humans involved in the appeal process).
Anyway, I will not participate in Yahoo Answers any more since I’m really fed up with their silly and arbitrary “China-style” censorship, but first I would really like to have an answer why my question was considered a violation…
Phelps the marijuana poor judgment picture
and Christian Bale the taped rant and verbal abuse on audio tape of the cinematographer. That’s the big Drama of 2009 other than Jessica Simpson being what white Hollywood calls fat. Do they realize that if you look back at Raquel Welch and other starlets in the 50′s and 70′s white women had curves etc
What’s with people saying that they are “catholic” or “christian” when they don’t even follow or even read the bible?
Isn’t it stupid to say you are “christian” because ur parents are, u went to church as a kid, and cause u don’t HATE jesus?
For example, why does Katie Holmes think it was a hard decision having to have “converted” to scientoloy from catholicism, when she obviously wasn’t living the catholic life? She shacked up with that chris klein for a while (obviously not a catholic virign), and committed other “Hollywood” sins
