Well, of course I couldn't resist... the ID space appears to be limited to 8 characters, and it must look the words up in a dictionary, because it automatically rejected:

Seems Nike is pretty sensitive these days. But the order system did accept "KID MADE":)
Miller was a compromise that ended a decade of legal wrangling over the subject of obscenity. It affirmed that legal obscenity must be sexual in nature (which this website likely is) and must violate community standards of propriety. Playboy isn't relevant, because playboy is a national magazine which may or may not violate community norms in New Hampshire.
Actually, if the site was constructed primarily to make fun of the police department (which the article implies, had you bothered to read it), and not as a porn site, then it does not necessarily appeal to the prurient interests. It might still be slanderous, but that is a different issue.
Before you jump down people's throats over details, you should check some yourself...
My Sony 5-Disc DVD changer plays my CDRs... I have had a few that it didn't recognize, but on the whole it works fine. Try using a better quality CDR media....
seems like corporations have no desire other than to strip us of what few remaining freedoms we have, and the government is doing nothing to check their power scramble.
I understand your concern, but your fears are slightly misplaced; corporations don't give a rat's ass about your rights, one way or the other. What they care about is making money. Period. It just so happens that as we move to an information economy, making money has become more dependent on information, which is why your rights come into play.
You really think the solution is to move to another country? Ha! Perhaps you've heard of globalization? Or do you not think that multi-nationals effect rights world-wide? To paraphrase Paddy Chayefsky ala Network "There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today."
Governments today are largely pawns of the corporation... why? Because corporations have money. And where do corporations get their money? Other corporations... and you. If you really care about your rights, if you really care about your privacy, then get involved and make a difference. Do the only think that will have any impact: vote with your dollars. Elections are bought and sold and the only thing that will affect real change is hitting corporations in the bottom line.
