Pervs Fight Back!

Canada's not the only one with a Sex Party—come Thursday, Australia will have one of its very own, too! And when we say "sex party" we mean a political party dedicated to fighting a stuffy, sex-negative political environment (and, specifically, that nasty little porn filter), not, you know, a nationwide orgy. Though if the Australian Sex Party gets its way, who knows? Australia's got room for more than one sex party, after all. (google.com via nerve.com; thumbnail via Ask Jolene)

Australia Continues To Fight The Menace Of Internet Porn

Australia's attempt to block all internet porn from entering its borders keeps marching on. In the filter's current incarnation, over 10,000 sites would be blocked, with no way to completely opt out of the filter. So the next time some Aussie pop star sheds her top, no one will know. Well, no one in Australia, at least. (avn.com)

The only mainstream movie that matters (also known as "Zack and Miri Make a Porno") has continued its unabashed and unrelenting hype (in spite of a whole lot of backlash). Not only can you make your own Porn ID (whatever that is), you can also help Zack and Miri out behind the scenes. There's still no nudity, but, well—they kinda just had us at "porno."

Flying somewhere? You should probably check and find out if your airline is blocking adult content on their wi-fi service. Fortunately, MSNBC has put together a helpful guide to airline wi-fi filtering. If Fleshbot is the only thing that'll get you through a four hour flight, you'd better fly Virgin America. (msnbc.com, via Gizmodo)

But What About The Grownups?

The Swiss government is working hard to protect children from the evils of pornography... by banning pornography on all mobile devices. Why is a general ban necessary? Why, because if anyone's allowed to get mobile porn, those crafty teenagers will find a way to get their hands on it! Sound logic all around—until, of course, you get that urge to watch "Rim Meine Gähnen" on your mobile. (swissinfo.ch)

According to this press release masquerading as a "news" report, employers are reportedly worried about the so-called "porn modes" in the latest version of Internet Explorer and Google's Chrome browser.

Sexploitation Clip Of The Week: "This Picture Is Censored"

This dirty old man would really like to show you some filth. But first, he wants to tell you about it and then maybe provide a history lesson about obscenity laws in the United States from 1921 up to and including 1965. When you're giving a lecture, it's important to provide examples and demonstrations to prove your point. It helps to make your arguments clear and also keeps your audience from falling asleep. Sure, you could just dispense with the talking all together, but then who would get to admire your mustache?

Now that all the airlines are looking to add in-flight internet service, the biggest question on everyone's mind is, of course, who is going to be responsible for telling the guy in 18-B to turn down the volume on "Cum Fart Tsumani".

Warning: Boobs Ahead. Do You Understand And Wish To Continue?

Those of you who have spent any time on the interweb searching for smut have surely run across the warning that accompanies any Blogspot blog that someone somewhere has deemed "objectionable." Of course, Google would never actually "censor" content on their free web hosting service—they just put up a giant sign post blocking you from the site you're trying to reach, and imply that you must be some sort of twisted perv for even wanting to see it. But if you're okay with that you can go ahead and click through, you big freak. We could write a book about the silliness of that system, but we much prefer this more subtle form of protest: the "I Understand And I Wish To Continue" Award. It's given out by one Blogspot blog to others that have been thrown behind that great beige wall because their erotic content is too hot for sensitive eyes. It almost makes us wish we were on Blogspot too so that we might be eligible to win one. (Almost, that is. We're sure you understand.) More »

Some Congresspersons displaying a not very firm grasp of technology are pushing for an alternative internet that is completely free—and also devoid of porn. You might as well ask for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that is also free of peanut butter, because what would be the point? (xbiz.com)

Turkey's ruling party is planning a new law that requires everyone who buys porn to sign for and register their purchase with the government, as if they were buying a gun or a car. Also, anyone under 18 would not be allowed in an internet cafe or a night club. Of course, the party itself was this close to being declared illegal and disbanded by Turkey's courts, so it sounds like they have their own issues to deal with. (hurriyet.com + newstatesman.com)

Sri Lanka has banned internet porn—which means we have had no choice but to put our Top Ten Sri Lankan Booty Babes post on hold indefinitely. Hey, we can play hardball too.(inquirer.net)

Apparently even porn-hating conservative types have to admit that the Child Online Protection Act is pretty stupid: after all, it's never been enforced, it's never going to be enforced, and it's clearly unconstitutional. So maybe we should stop wasting everyone's time by arguing about it and (gasp!) police ourselves? That's just crazy enough to work! (heraldextra.com)

The 3rd U.S. Circurt Court of Appeals has upheld last year's lower court ruling that declared the Child Online Protection Act unconstitutional. That doesn't mean they hate children, just that Congress isn't very good at censoring porn from the internet ... for now.
