I can't believe I'm being forced to pay for this shit to happen.
Administration wages war on pornography
Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography. This job, which Nguyen does earnestly from 9 to 5, surrounded by a half-dozen other "computer forensic specialists" like him, has become the focal point of the Justice Department's operation to rid the world of porn.In this field office in Washington, 32 prosecutors, investigators and a handful of FBI agents are spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years. Nothing is off limits, they warn, even soft-core cable programs such as HBO's long-running Real Sex or the adult movies widely offered in guestrooms of major hotel chains.

Drew Oosterbaan, chief of the division in charge of obscenity prosecutions at the Justice Department, says officials are trying to send a message and halt an industry they see as growing increasingly "lawless."
"We want to do everything we can to deter this conduct" by producers and consumers, Oosterbaan said. "Nothing is off the table as far as content."
Give me my money back so I can spend it on brightly-lit and plotless porn DVDs filled with desperate young people having wild and crazy sex. Then, when I'm done, I'll ship them all to Ashcroft's house so he can do with them what he wants, as long as it isn't on my dime.
Whatta bunch of assholes.

'lol' Remember the Super Bowl incident with Janet and Justin?
Well at that time my platton's been at a US base here in Germany helping em out guarding it and keepin it safe since due to a lack of manpower, most were assigned to missions in Iraq, they asked for help.
Nyways, had a lot of fun and some friends there, among em was this Master Seargent Carla. On our day off I paied her a visit in her office and while we were chatting we were interupted by the door being slammed open and that staff sergeant yelling at her with a big grin: "Hey Carla, you gotta see this, it Janet." We followed him and he showed as a picture capturing the moment when her breast sprang out. 'lol' It was on drudgereport, he printd it out for Carla and asked whether I wanted it too. The picture was small and of really poor quality.
My reply was: "Dude what's the fuss about? We had that picture only in high quality covering the front page of our newspapers right on the next morning of that event."
'hah' Carla then started cursing on their government for being so uptight compared to us here.
It's funny, while violence is ok over there you overreact when it comes to nudity. Here it's the exact opposite. That's why the same movies and games are often rated different in Europe and the US.
