Whiskey Wednesday

Just Another Day with the American Taliban

Ummm... fascism much?

Take a look at this statement from gay.com regarding the new regulations governing "explicit" photos on the internet(s).

http://www.gay.com/help/personals_adult.html

Be sure to read the new definitions for "sexually explicit" photos per John Asscroft. Example: An image of a hand inside pants is prohibited as it implies masturbation.

One, this is laughable. Two, this is some scary Nazi shit!

No wonder the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals found this unconstitutional.

The Justice Dept. regulations listed on this link only includes content that might be found on a gay site, there are additional prohibitions which would apply more to hetero content.

And folks, this is just the beginning.

This cloud just might have a silver lining though. Just think how many Billy Bob Bubba Rednecks out there are gonna be pissed when the feds start tinkering with their porn and internet(s). And what are Baptist preachers supposed to do now???

I really hope this backfires on Bushie like a bad enima.

UPDATE: A strong legal response has been, ummm, mounted. The DOJ (which, I know, is headed by Senor Gonzales... but this is Asscroft's baby) is backing down and will not enforce the regulations until Sept. In the meantime a coalition of internet companies and free speech advocates are seeking an injunction. http://www.freespeechcoalition.com/
