So they're basically making a V-Chip for the internet? The real reason why teenagers are sexually abused by predators online is, essentially, bad education. http://www.apa.org/releases/online_sexabuse.html

"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. "

I can see how it's displeasing to have people selling their votes, but it's a much preferable use, rather than the current trend in the United States (no use). The only real harm that can come from allowing this to happen is somebody loses a few dollars to someone who didn't vote for their candidate.

This is a lot better than simply thinking they're silent until they're quoted in a future article.
I checked and I suppose you're right.
Depends if he faces east or west from my house, where the meteor shower will be visible. Good thought, however.
Glad I live in a rural area; nothing to obstruct the view, except maybe the car salesman's huge spotlights.
Much better than iTunes' $0.99 per song, $9.99 per album approach. Now, if only I had money.
Reasonable semi-explanation.
