Porn Filters
I find it rather amusing that 'conservative' countries in the world put such efforts into controlling access to porn on the internet, yet do so little in combating pressing, and sometimes mundane problems. They do it under the guise of protecting their citizens from evil influences. Sorry, but porn can be viewed in two ways in my opinion: 1) Men exercising control over women (this argument falls apart in quite a few porn scenarios however), and 2) We're animals, and it has been built in us to propagate the species; we will look for any and all avenues to satisfy those urges. If porn is such an evil influence, then the argument can be extended to say that the censors who have to view the sites in order to classify them as evil must have either a strong moral fibre, or the most corrupt and base individuals due to their exposure to porn. The blocking of porn sites is all about control of the population. It's about a few people in power, exercising judgment for everyone. You will find that the same countries that block porn sites, are also much too willing to block sites like Amnesty International ... and let's not even start to discuss what an evil influence that organization is!

If you missed it in the theatre, you didn't miss much however. You can catch it on DVD. The Aristocrats -- This is a movie about a joke. One joke. That's it. The delivery however -- now that was something else. The delivery was sick, sick, sick. This is an in-joke for comedians that have been numbed by jokes for us regular folk. The only thi...
