If playboy by definition is not obscene? Then why the hell does (almost) every male that reads it use it for a certain purpose? How the hell do you call provacative images of a naked female not obscene? Ok, so there's not actually any genital penetration involved... What difference does it make. The whole point is to keep underaged people from having access to it.
Ya know, what really cracks me up is what people consider to be censorship now days. Is keeping a 14 year-old kid from learning how to build an atomic bomb or learning the finer points of doing it doggy-style really censorship? Or is it just common sense that little Johnny really doesn't need to know how to do such things. Sure, this country is supposed to stand for free speech, but how many of you with kids really want them to be walking around a library and happen to look at the screen of some guy perusing the latest edition of Penthouse online. Geez people, if you want to look at porn, get your own fscking computer.
Most of us are sedentary couch and mouse potatoes, and the Kerbango Internet radio sounds like a great way to do a little more digital grazing. No longer will I have to sit at my computer and feign productivity while I listen to decent radio stations in other cities. I can sit on my couch and completely dispel any illusions of productivity, and there's even a possibility I can listen from the comfort of my porcelain couch. I don't know about you.. But for that very reason I can't wait till they do it with an internet tv... Then we can reach the peak of nerdiness... Not only being a couch potato, but a computer geek. Actually, that could be an interesting idea though, make a tv that does something similar and uses a service kinda like iCraveTV. Jack Valenti would probably shit a golden brick over that one. -d11
Now whats the deal with this Kerbango Audio Operating System... Is this just a custom version of Linux or is it something running on top of Linux... Could be interesting to see if its possible to crack these things somewhat like EMPEGs... -d11
