"Somewhere Cory Doctorow is getting a blowjob while he screams 'THIS IS JUST LIKE IT WAS IN MY BOOK!' while Warren Ellis complains that no one reads his website anymore."
Now see, I was the kinda kid who'd deliberately go researching whale phalli because my creative writing course required I write a sequel to a novel of classic literature. Moby Dick in Love sounds fun.
Imagine all of the horrible, legitimate, things one could research. As far as video goes....if I knew about it in advance, it might take some doing, but I'd do my level best to give the observer nightmares.

I don't need to imagine, I do that for a living.
First is was Google Answers, then Google's Human Eval, and now Microsoft's Human Eval. There's a reason I keep copies of my contracts in my laptop bag. If my computer were subjected to a search and I didn't have that, I could go to jail.
As I noted over at Lenore's, if it was my kid issued one of those laptops, the Principal or Vice Principal would find it crammed sideways somewhere very uncomfortable.
Part of the reason so many people have difficulty handling their kids is that they forget to treat them like ACTUAL PEOPLE. They don't need us to spoon feed them every fucking thing and shelter them from the tiniest speck of dirt.
They. Are. PEOPLE. If you don't get that through your head right quick, you're going to have horrible problems. I say this not as WonderMom or any of that bullshit, but as someone who learned the hard way and is now four months from having a legal adult on her hands.
