Poor afternic - they need expensive machines and well-trained staff to work out that massachusetts doesn't involve hate, sex, obscenity or self-destructive behavior, such as substance abuse, violence or gambling.

Afternic probably thought Massachusetts somehow was a gay reference and thereby banned it.
