Page you were editing: CBT (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Someone with authority over the "CBT" disambiguation page thinks it is funny to redirect "CBT" to a disambiguation page that says "CBT commonly refers to cock and ball torture." Obviously, CBT does not commonly refer to cock and ball torture. Googling CBT results in cognitive behavioral therapy for pages and pages and pages of results. I do not know how this bit of juvenile graffiti has become canon. People looking for CBT are probably considering therapy, and this result may well be distressing or upsetting---presumably that is also the joke and the point of the graffiti. I hope the person who reads this understands how Wikipedia works better than me and can try to correct it. The current CBT disambiguation page is an embarrassment for Wikipedia.
