The definition of obscenity, according to the Supreme Court and known informally as the Miller test, is:

• must appeal to the prurient interest of the average person
• must describe sexual conduct in a way that is "patently offensive" to community standards, and
• when taken as a whole, it "must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value"

Certain people (including parents and schoolteachers) have complained to us and stated that rotten.com should not be "allowed" on the net, since children can view images on our site.

One US schoolteacher wrote us a very angry email that complained some of her students had bookmarked images on this site, that our site shouldn't be on the net, and other claptrap.

This is our response. The net is not a babysitter! Children should not be roaming the Internet unsupervised any more than they should be roaming the streets of New York City unsupervised.

We cannot dumb the Internet down to the level of playground. Rotten dot com serves as a beacon to demonstrate that censorship of the Internet is impractical, unethical, and wrong. To censor this site, it is necessary to censor medical texts, history texts, evidence rooms, courtrooms, art museums, libraries, and other sources of information vital to functioning of free society.

Nearly all of the images which we have online are not even prurient, and would thus not fall under any definition of obscenity. Any images which we have of a sexual nature are in a context which render them far from obscene, in any United States jurisdiction. Some of the images may be offensive, but that has never been a crime. Life is sometimes offensive. You have to expect that.

The images we find most obscene are those of book burnings.

Please remember that no child has access to the Internet without the active consent of an adult. And absolutely no child should be left on the Internet alone. Supervision of children remains the responsibility of parents and teachers, as it always has and always will.

Bah, Randal's was an act of misguided intentions rather than the kind of thing you'd read about in the tabloids.

If you're after that kind of thing you'll be glad to hear Java delivers rather nicely, with Patrick Naughton.

There is huge outcry whenever anyone tries to make an article "kid-safe", and for good reason. But no, don't trust Wikipedia alone -- same as you don't trust *any other single source* without double-checking. I find it to be less biased than conventional print media myself.

I think that earth tones should be emphasized, to make it environment friendly: New FreeBSD Logo

Thus, a "torturous" math test is significantly less laden with horror than "torture" at Abu Ghraib (under US management), which is in turn much less nasty than "torture" at Abu Ghraib (under Saddam's management).

Good point about the meaning of the word being flexible, but your example is very poor.

Have you even seen the photos and descriptions of what was done at Abu Ghraib by US soldiers and independent contractors? I don't see how it can get any nastier than:

- being beaten and/or humiliated on a daily basis
- being led around naked and filthy in the cold for days at a time
- being hooded with a noose around your neck standing on a chair for hours (days?) at a time
- being literally crushed to death for the amusement of the guards
- being tortured to death in other ways
- being raped by the guards (males and females)
- being purposefully set upon and allowed to be bitten by attack dogs, again for the amusement of the guards
- etc
- etc
- ad infinitum

Please don't ever again try to say that what the Americans have done (and probably continue to do without taking photographs) at Abu Ghraib is somehow not as bad as whatever came before under Saddam's administration. Numbers do not matter. One person is 110% too many. The United States military and everyone who worked at that prison has disgraced and endangered the entire nation by stooping to such amazingly abominable behavior which is no different than what happened under Saddam. No different.

There are rules about the treatment of prisoners of war for practical as well as moral reasons. If the enemy knows he's just going to be tortured (possibly tortured to death), how willing is he going to be to give up and surrender, rather than fight to the death on the field of battle? Every American citizen and soldier in the world has been put in greater danger because of the behaviors witnessed at Abu Ghraib. Now all of our enemies will be motivated to keep fighting, and always fight to the death, because it's better than the alternative of getting captured by the Americans.

I am an American and everything that I have described is documented fact, so I have every right to say what I've said, and if this gets marked as a troll I'm going to be pissed. Reality sucks sometimes but it's still reality.

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

• Linus Torvalds [microsoft.com] is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
• Richard M. Stallman [geocities.com], spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
• Alan Cox [microsoft.com] is barely an anagram of anal cox which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual [goatse.cx] propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail [microsoft.com], which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted [salon.com] on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo [comp-u-geek.net] slut [rotten.com]!

Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual [goatse.cx] perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children [slashdot.org]. To quote from the article linked:

'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis [rotten.com] in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual [goatse.cx] terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexu

I'm still waiting for my fake/real diamonds! $5 a carrat my ASS!

There are people working very hard on this. I think the show Nova did on creating diamond synthetics is one of their best.

DeBeers purposely hoardes diamonds to keep the price up ala OPEC. In fact, none of their executives can step foot inside the US as they would likely be arrested.

Sadly, the Bush administration may let them off the hook on this.

Only if there is honest and real competition in the diamond market (even with the synthetics) will you see $5/carat diamonds As it stands now, many of the synthetics seem to cost as much as the real.

The cruel irony is that we're paying to subsidize these private businesses that Senator Santorum (R-PA) is "protecting" in his district from government competition. All the weather services get their weather data from the taxpayer-funded NWS, rather than pay to generate their own. Now Santorum is frothing about how the services the businesses do provide must prevent the NWS from providing, even where the NWS provides superior services. Some of which save lives, not just money. It's like Santorum thinks the NWS exists just to subsidize AccuWeather, not to improve Americans' ability to cope with the weather when AccuWeather isn't good enough.

Rick Santorum, Republican of Pennsylvania, where AccuWeather is based, has supported the industry group's position. A spokesman said Santorum would introduce legislation to "help" the weather service "continue providing meteorological infrastructure, forecasts and warnings, rather than providing services already effectively provided by the private sector."

Why am I not surprised? Where have I heard that word before....

Oh yeah....

Santorum!

He hates anal sex when it's someone else having fun, but when he gets to buttfuck the American public, he's all for it!

Read the rotten.com biography for a few laughs, if you haven't seen it yet. It contains a priceless mugshot of a grinning Bill when he was brought in a precinct for some kind of traffic violation 20-30 years ago.

Well, he may not be a religious leader, but he's a religious leader: George W Bush, for starters. I'm told his administration has severely cut funding abroad for birth-control initiatives which even slightly chafe with his own religious convictions.

For instance if an organisation puts out literature on birth control which even mentions the word 'abortion', they're automatically de-funded. this is a side-effect rather than a direct effect but it stems directly from religious conviction.

Admittedly this is not a direct problem, but a consequence of a web of relationships.

I'm also told that numerous muslim "scholars" have spoken out against condom use.

Still, these major reports are the tip of the iceberg - regional religious authorities are far more likely to go against it than national or global ones which may have to respond to international attention.

And let's not even start on the falwells of this world that believe AIDS is God's Will

Some religions prohibit certain medical treatments for one reason or another; this has most certainly led to otherwise-preventable deaths of both adherents and children under their "care".

Notable examples are Christian "Scientists" and Jehovah's Witnesses

Checking IDs at restricted access places like military bases, NASA, NSA, etc. makes a hell of a lot of sense.

Timothy McVeigh had ID, too.

IDs do nothing for security at all, except lure gullible people into believing they do something to promote security. The proposed Federal IDs can tell you if a known terrorist is trying to get a job in the government. If a person is a "known terrorist" why in god's green earth hasn't she/he been picked up yet? Oh wait...

You realize that almost nobody lives in Montana, right?

Well, there's Ted Kaczynski, The Montana Militia, and a whole bunch of armageddon freaks hiding in the woods. That's a few people.

Of course, if it's a mortician's procedure, then probably not. As an added bonus, if he's not very ethical, pictures of the procedure may show up on http://rotten.com/!

I think he's referring to Vince Foster, a lawyer for the White House (who came with the Clintons from AK, and had worked on the Whitewater case), who was charged with cleaning up the "Travelgate" scandal. This was one of the first scandals for the Clinton presidency, where several employees of the White House travel staff were fired under the pretense of misconduct, so a new set of employees could be put in place. The fired employees got together and sued for improper removal, and a big mess of investigations into the travel budgets ensued. Foster committed suicide, whereupon it was discovered that all of his legal papers were now in the possession of one Hillary Clinton.

WHAT DID YOU DOWNLOAD ON THE INTERNET LAST YEAR because it has ALL BEEN RECORDED.

"TWO PICTURES MEANS GUILTY"

You had a safe, comfortable middle-class life? No, you thought you had, but you didn't. You are a CRIMINAL, you are GUILTY and you can be EXECUTED.

You are just another statistic criminal.
Do you want YOU and your PARTNER and KIDS to be DRAGGED from your home and SHOT IN THE STREET?

Is your anus insured for AIDS RAPE?

Does your life insurance cover FORCED PRISON SEX and AIDS DEATH ? Check the policy - maybe not. Does "your" life-insurance carry a clause in the contract about perverts, convicts and enemies of society JUST LIKE YOU? Why should they insure "PERVERT REJECTS" like you?

Society hates you.

What are your family going to do when you are jailed for 50 years with no parole? Do you reckon your spouse will hang around for 1 year let alone 50 years before they get lonely and find another partner to love them?

You can be JAILED and RAPED.

A great big muscle-bound GAY RAPIST will tie you to the PRISON BARS and RAPE YOUR ASS with his AIDS AND WART-INFESTED PENIS .

You will be forced to SUCK AIDS INFECTED DICKS . Do you want that?

SOCIETY SUCKS and you had better get used to it because this is what you can expect when YOUR COMPUTER is EXAMINED FOR EVIDENCE by the "government".

You will soon learn how "LAWFUL" AND "CORRECT" your government is when you are being raped and the prison guards are looking the other way - or WATCHING or JOINING IN.

DO YOU WANT TO BE RAPED? WELL, DO YOU?

Your "government" wants you to be RAPED IN THE ASS and you had better wise up before they get YOUR ass, because they can recover what you downloaded LAST YEAR and use it to kidnap you and rape you.

STOP yourself and your family and kids being kidnapped and raped by criminals.

Actually, there might have been a humanzee in the past. You can read about it (and some of the ethical implications) here. And before anyone asks, actually, I DO trust The Rotten Library more than Wikipedia.

Where have I heard that quote? Ahhh, yes, washed up televangelist Jimmy Swaggart.

When confronted by the Assemblies of God leadership, Jimmy had no choice but to confess. He told them that he suffered a lifelong addiction to pornography. It was probably no real surprise to them. All the signs were there. Swaggart had written an article in 1987 asserting that "pornography is now considered as addictive as drugs." And over the years he had campaigned for tougher anti-porn legislation.

Fucking religious fanatics and the sheep that listen to them.

Come on. I could pull a more esoteric website than this out of my large intestine. This is obviously some university biology website.
You're surprised that there's a website on the functions and anatomy of the large intestine? have you ever seen Rotten.com?

Either you believe that tit-for-tat is legitimate, or you believe that we only owe respect to sovereign nations that are democratic. What does the american democracy mean to its people when basically none of them helped decide to take on those covert assignments (none of which helped the countries in question).

And yes, I'm talking about the cold war era ... which lasted well into the 80's. Its not like there's been a lack of fighting since then either. ... for those that don't feel like looking it up; the US fought in Afghanistan against the same people in the 80's that they fight alongside now. ... look up Manuel Noriega. ... take a look at how Iraq came to have Saddam as its leader in the first place. ... check into the reporters who talked to Saddam in the weeks before he invaded Kuwait; they say that he and the americans had come to an understanding that invading Kuwait was allowed, so long as he left Saudi Arabia alone. ... etc.

Dear rotten.com,

I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/ and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.

It's a result of the liberal bias of college professors and the ``scholars'' who don't bother to get an alternate viewpoint. Talk about something in a dirty enough way, and you can dirty it forever in people's minds. Being a die-hard, blinders on liberal is a good thing to many leftists' eyes, but being a die-hard conservative is considered wrong and nasty (ie, look at how Ann Coulter is treated by liberals).

It's also that many of this Slashdot crowd are Satanists. If they can upset a devout Christian (or any conservative), they will, just because they want to. Ann Coulter wrote a book about this.

For another good example, you should read Pat Buchanan's book, A Republic, Not an Empire and contrast it with the slanderous way he was treated by the media. Claims of racist against him are just wrong.

Rundown on various offspring of Godzilla in different realities & continuities:

The cute, annoying, pudgy son-o-G in the earlier movies was called Minya. I'm not sure where the name Minilla popped up -- I've heard it before, but never seen it in any of the subs or heard it in the dubs. Then again, more recent dubs have done strange stuff like change the names of Mothra's little twin hotties (The Cosmos), so I just may be out of the loop.

The little fat guy was in Godzilla's Revenge AKA All Monsters Attack (Worse than GINO, avoid at all costs), Son of Godzilla, and used as a greatest hits bit of stock footage in a couple others which are also best forgotten.

Godzooky was the often forgotten American cartoon version of son-o-G circa '79. Think Scooby Doo meets Jaques Cousteau with a big green Scrappy Doo. Completely fucking terrifying to recall now, but I loved it when I was 4. I so wanted a remote control that would call big G to do my bidding. I still want Mothra's little twin hotties, though, but I digress.

Perhaps Minilla is the Americanized name for the baby G that we saw in G vs Space G and vs Destroyah? I think his official name was Godzilla Jr in those, although he graduated and became full blown Godzilla in G2K.

A fairly nice perspective on the big green guy's varied histories is here. Another is here but takes itself a lot more seriously.

"Poicephalus" is Latin for PenisBird

No. You are thinking about poicephallus with double 'L'. Google for "The Incident With The Bird" for more info. For those who are too busy to follow links, here is a little ASCII-art version I have just made:

Isn't it cute? I think it should be the official logo of Parrot project and a default prompt of Parrot debugger. What do you think?

Dear rotten.com,

I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org). Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://smoke.rotten.com/bird and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.

FYI the text representation of the bird is:

with a link to the offensive site (http://smoke.rotten.com/bird) underneath, these "Penis Birds" are posted by Penis Bird Guy, Penis Bird MAN and several other users

you mean schmoes like o'reilly? yeah, his credibility is peabody winning... (oops, i mean, 'polk winning' ;p ). he'd the first to claim he's just a schmoe...

I'm pretty sure that it's intentional and insidious. Check the rotten article. He actually lost a Congressional election because his opponent said he was too smart and rich, and couldn't relate to the common man. I don't really know how many fence-sitters are going to be listening to the Bush campaign's smears, and those that take them seriously are just the rabid Bush followers that would vote for Bush over Jesus.

They were so close to getting points

No-one had picked Hans, so no score there!

False. The FAA ordered airplanes grounded at 09:08, when "My Pet Goat" was just warming up.

Bzzz...

From 9/11 timeline

"9:25 -- The FAA Command Center in Herndon orders all aircraft in the country grounded, while FAA headquarters executives were still dithering over whether to give the order."

"9:42 -- FAA orders all air traffic in the United States to immediately land at the nearest facility. At this moment, that amounts to about 4,500 airplanes."

Wrong. To try and fail is better than never to try at all.

Bzzz... wrong again. A hasty decision in that instances more than likely would have caused military pilots to shoot down aircraft that had not been hijacked.

• He wears platform shoes. Evil.
• He has a fucking huge film library-by the 1970s his collection had grown to more than 15,000 films (and his favourites, entertainingly, include James Bond)
• He's a giant Michael Jackson fan.
• He has his own harem, comprised mostly of Asians and Europeans (and plenty of porn as well)
  
• He's batshit insane

O'Reilly went off on Glick, because that's what he does. He doesn't want to interview or have a civil discussion with some of his guests. It's more beneficial to him if he incites them and makes them come off looking like jerks or idiots because he gets them so riled up and flustered. Maybe Glick just figured that out and didn't want to play Bill's game.

At least that's how Glick puts it.

According to Glick, after the interview Bill completely lost his shit. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted "Get out! Get out of my studio before I tear you to fucking pieces!" In a radio interview, Glick later explained the lesson that Al Franken and innumerable other O'Reilly Factor guests would have benefited greatly from:

"O'Reilly's not there to debate. He's there to intimidate, he's there to bait his [guests]. And that's why, when he said that stuff about my Dad, the reason why I was calm is not because that wasn't hurtful or outrageous, it was because that's exactly what he wants to do. He wants to push your buttons."
