Surely this is a solvable AI/computer vision problem. And in text, just search for the regular expression "8=+D".

Your regular expression catches very few penises. A very simple case:
8------>
But you can easily solve that one. A much harder case would be catching stuff like this: _
/ \_________
|\
| |
_________|/
\_/
And even if you could do some image recognition, I think you'd have a hard time differentiating between stuff like this: O
-|-
|
/ \
And this: O
-|-
|_
/ \
...because what makes it a penis is not the shape, but the context, which is very hard to recognize.Don't underestimate the difficulty of filtering human-generated data.
Also, I can't believe I just spent 5 minutes making ASCII penises.
