I wrote the text about the different versions of the F Face card, and i am 100% certain of the white-out and marker versions. However, is my memory correct about the airbrushed version? If not, please correct.--Duke33 7 July 2005 20:42 (UTC)

What was the expletive written on the card? I can't remember now. Unless it's really bad I think it should be mentioned. We have plenty of curses in WP. Also, is it true the expletive was written by his teammates to embarass him? -R. fiend 17:10, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I added them. We have lots of obscene words on WP, even images of kama sutra. I didn't add the picture, but rather a link to it. If anyone wants, they can add it to the page. I've given more details on how the words "fuck face" came to be as well as actually putting the words in the article.--69.156.207.170 16:31, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Uh-oh, looks like a copyright vio. The final paragraph is lifted directly from the Snopes article (the link to the article is also included but it isn't clearly cited) 172.142.204.49 13:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SI Image

I reverted the removal of the image, since the cover itself is specifically discussed in the "Playing Career" section. As such, the fair use claim is legitimate. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 19:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
