Re: Say it ain't so: Censorship in America

[Drsolly <drsollyp () drsolly com>]

I'm not an American, so I'm constantly amazed at an attitude that says 
"Censorship? We don't do that in freedom-loving America", while at the 
same time having the most stringent censorship system outside the world of 
Islam, done mostly in the names of "God", "Jesus" and "the children".

We're still chuckling over the furore caused by (I forget her name, was it 
Jackson?) who showed a nipple at some sporting event, shock, horror, "what 
about the children", thus causing millions of children all over America to 
go into terminal meltdown or at least be scarred for life by this 
appalling sight.

It's even funnier than listening to your president try to talk.
