LJ and the War on Porn

[gehayi]

Hi. People? This is important. Found this on the LJ of activist twistedchick:

"robkaiote tells us that LiveJournal won't be immune from the Bush Administration's war on porn. No more pretty photos. And perhaps not other things as well. More from gay.com. And more here. Take note, and pass it on

So. Anyone outraged yet?

The problem is, now I'm in the mood to write porn. Just to spite them.

::goes back to working on her genfic epic, while plotting what kind of smut she can write to annoy the government::

You too?

And I'm not even primarily a porn writer. I just don't like being told what not to do. (Honestly, the Shrubbery and the Cabinet that Says 'Ni!' should know better. After all, they claim to know the Bible so well; they should have remembered from Genesis what happens when you tell people not to do something for no good reason.)

*flails* But--but--Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press! Including porn!

I swear, it's enough to make me want to film an underage porn video with my friends and put it up on the Internet. (Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I have no digital camera.)

Oh, I stopped expecting our dictatorship to make sense a LONG time ago.

I do understand how you feel, however. It's just...maddening.

Anyone outraged yet?

*waves a bright orange flag* WTF?! I believe there's this little thing called FREEDOM OF FLIPPIN SPEECH that's being ignored here. Or is that just me forgetting that the Bill of Rights is an imaginary part of the Harry Potter world or something?

*helps you hold the orange flag up*

Freedom of speech? Oh, yes, I remember that. Something to do with Teflon Tony and the B-Liar government.....

Snark aside, I'm seriously worried about the effect the Shrub is having on decent American friends. And it affects us poor sods across the pond as well.

Lol, where did the name Shrub sprout out from? Anyway, I love your icon cos he would've made a better Pres than stupid ol' Shrub. Hell, Schwarztanagger (I know, I just killed his name) would've made a better Pres.

And oh dear, you poor sods! *any excuse to call someone a sod or a wanker*

This is not a frickin' theocracy, I hate censorship.
