Pakistan Orders ISPs To Block Over 400k Porn Websites (independent.co.uk)

Posted by Soulskill on from the how-to-trigger-a-revolution dept.

Bruce66423 writes: The agency that regulates telecommunications in Pakistan has ordered ISPs to block a huge list of adult websites. "The action follows a recent order passed down by the Supreme Court in Pakistan requiring the telecom sector to 'take remedial steps to quantify the nefarious phenomenon of obscenity and pornography that has an imminent role to corrupt and vitiate the youth of Pakistan.' According to the Express Tribune, just days after the ruling by the Supreme Court, the telecom sector regulator, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, added it had provided internet service providers with a list of 429,343 domains to be blocked as it attempts to control the distribution of pornographic material.

      They don't need to know.

      Did you ever notice how masturbation calms a man down? I mean when I lack sex, I go completely crazy. Not only I'm willing to spend a few hundred dollars for a restaurant and a show simply to be with a girl, not only I'm willing to offer her stupid gifts, but it's to a point where I even think about marriage!

      But then, I masturbate and I get my mind back. I split the restaurant bill, I let the girl pays for her own ticket and, more importantly, I realize again marriage would be the biggest mistake of my life. (Hence my motto : One masturbation a day keeps marriage away.)

      Now I imagine if not only I could not masturbate, but women were also covered from heat to toe. I swear, I'll end up blowing up myself.

    It's as if the voices of millions of goats suddenly bleated in terror, and were silenced.
