Thomas Beagle writes "The New Zealand government has been stealthily introducing a centralised internet child-pornography specific filtering system. Voluntary for ISPs but not for their users, ISPs representing over 94% of the market are already intending to join.

Panties Stink

Panties Stink!
They really, really stink!
Sometimes they're red, sometimes they're green,
Sometimes they're white or black or pink
Sometimes they're satin, sometimes they're lace
Sometimes they're cotton and soak up stains
But at the end of the day, it really makes you think
Wooooooo-wheeeee! Panties stink!

Sometimes they're on the bathroom floor
Your girlfriend- what a whore!
Sometimes they're warm and wet and raw
From beneath the skirt of your mother-in-law
Brownish stains from daily wear
A gusset full of pubic hair
Just make sure your nose is ready
For the tang of a sweat-soaked wedgie
In your hand a pair of drawers
With a funky feminine discharge
Give your nose a rest, fix yourself a drink
cause wooooooo-wheeeeeee! panties stink!

For the love of my daughter

"Voluntary" - right...

Voluntary for ISPs but not for their users

Yes, right. "Voluntary". You can join the system "voluntary", or you'll have to enforce anti-child pornography laws yourself, and we'll be extra careful checking, that you do...

Another example of such "voluntary" joining are "E-ZPass" — you don't have to sign-up, but certain toll-plazas have no other means to pay any more. The other, I fear, will be the "public healthcare option", that law-makers are discussing...
