Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill
All Names Have Been writes "House bill 260 has been signed into law by Utah's governor. It creates a list of websites that are not 'safe for children' and forces ISPs to block these sites for those who request it.
In addition, content providers who host or create content in Utah for profit must now rate their websites or face 3rd degree felony charges.
A similar law in Pennsylvania was struck down last year." (See this earlier story, too.)
to kill babies and murder people who go against the church, but Gof forbid someone see some boobies.
At first, I thought this was horrible.
But now, I can't wait for that list to leak.

I suppose yro.slashdot.org really stands for year old...
sex.com, bigtits.com, groklaw.net, allgirls.com...
Seriously, how long until they move three feet over the state border to circumvent this?
How many here would like to work for the UT AG's office as the official porn site screener? Can you imagine, getting decent pay, good benefits and spending your days surfing porn? I wonder if telecomuting is an option (I need saltwater proximity).
What changed under Obama? Nothing Good
Oh, but it's for the children! We must protect the children! If they go to too many porn sites, they might forget to take their 80 milligrams of Ritalin every day!
Finally! It was about time someone addresses the need for a porn directory with no credit card involved in this country!
It's Utah. Just assume any law restricting porn in any way will pass.
It's UTAH.
No guessing or assuming required.

This is such an obvious troll for a Bush joke that I refuse to take the bait :)
Apologies in advance to Simon Travaglia.
.. mm, no problem, one moment, *clickety-clickety-click* ... there you go, all set, give that a try.
Here's how I see Utah ISPs conforming to this new (yes, at this point, only proposed) legislation, *should* it become law:
Utah ISP rep: Thanks for calling XYZ Internet, how may I help you?
Caller: Um, yes, per SB 260, I demand you make any indecent or pornographic material inaccessible from my account!
Utah ISP rep: No problem ma'am, I can do that right now. What is your account name please?
Caller: My account is blah-de-blah.
Utah ISP rep:
Caller: ah, great, lemme just get online and uh.. hey, it says login incorrect.. and.. what the..
Utah ISP rep: *CLICK* (dial tone).. "If you'd like to make a call, please hangup and dial your operator."
Caller: AAAARGGHH!
It's true no man is an island, but if you take a bunch of dead guys and tie 'em together, they make a good raft.
if you want to know what we "Mormons" believe in, ask a good, practicing Mormon.
OK, I'll ask you a few questions then.
-Do you believe that Joseph Smith had magic spectacles with which he translated the Book of Mormon?
-Why do Mormons wear long underwear with Masonic symbols on it?
-Do you believe that Native Americans rather than originating from crossing over from Siberia to Alaska are a lost tribe of the Israelites?
-Do you believe that blacks are the descendants of Cain; an associate of Lucifer as stated by your church?
-Do you believe you will rule your own planet when you die?
This guy is way out there

Oh, the irony...
So how about a gun where the barrel is shaped like a dildo- that would be protected under the second Amendment. Man, THAT would confuse the hell out of a lot of Texans...

The land of polygamy and marrying 13 year olds (wasn't that last year?) cracking down on porn? It's like the land of sleaze going crazy over just one nipple.
Heh. Actually, it made him look funny and you look like a whiny, PC dickhead.
So the only one in Utah looking at Porn will be the Attorney General?
I'm announcing my intention to run for Attorney General of Utah.
Actually I recently heard about some raids in Texas for just this sort of thing. I'd try to find a link, but I'm at work and if anyone checks the logs here I don't want them to wonder why I looked up 'Texas dildo raid' on google.

As a result I'm setting up a paypal account for all you slashdotters to poney up the dough for my bail. Who'd have guessed accosting a couple average-looking housewives would have stirred up so much trouble? BTW, NEVER, EVER tell a woman she is average looking...
