I, too, have been somewhat mystified by how pornography just ceased being a political topic in this country. I remember when Democrats had to at least to pretend to care about the porn industry and its potential effect on the children’s morals. Perhaps that lack of discussion in recent years helps explain why I was so stunned to learn that the Tories are going to make British households opt-in to online porn. If you have an internet connection, the porn will be filtered out unless you specifically request that it not be filtered out.
I guess that’s about the only way to protect children from online porn, but I bet a lot of porn addicts are going to go cold turkey rather than admit that they need their fix.
In any case, I didn’t really see this outbreak of British prudery coming.
Also, too, MSNBC spent this morning wondering whether or not Kate Middleton is “too posh to push” and explaining the benefits (for the baby) of exposure to her vaginal bacterial flora.
