BUT NOW IT IS BACK AND I AM NO LONGER RESTRICTED IN MY CHOICE OF ENTERTAINMENT ( Read more... )

BIG FINISH DOES NOT WANT ME TO ORDER ANYTHING FROM THEM.

Which is to say, whenever I try to register my billing address, I get a "Server Application Error" page, which does not seem to go away no matter how many times I log out, clear and restock my cart, or exit Firefox.

Re: LJ banning all underage sexual content: Look up the law in question that LJ's decided to follow, and check out the Miller test that they say is the actual judge of what is or isn't obscene. It kinda looks to me like this isn't the horrible tragedy folks seem to think it is. Well, yes, it's a problem, but it ain't a reason to run off in a huff. ( Read more... )
