About Mature Themes and Sexual References

"Can you recall the last time you were flipping through channels on free-to-air-TV in America and your screen was suddenly filled with an enormous erect black penis?"

The Federal Government is going to extreme ends to protect us from intentionally accessing objectionable content over the internet...not that there is anything objectionable about an enormous erect black penis, per se, other than the surprise of finding one unexpectedly in my living room. Aside from the occasional misleading email attachment, I seldom click on links that lead me to enormous erect black penises by accident. You pretty much have to go looking for them. Under normal browsing conditions enormous erect black penises do not just suddenly pop onto ones screen. Yet, my only 'protection' at home is a brief disclaimer whispered at the beginning of a potentially objectionable program - wholly inadequate under the circumstances.


Stupid nanny government.



And might I add: damn!*



*please pronounce with three syllables

"Nanny government" - such an apt description. I'm shocked how over-regulated the Oz public has become ... our state and federal governments are so fucking bossy.

If I could tell our govt to shove most of its rules up its arts, I would - but there's probably a new law been bought against seditious acts like that.

Much of the state/federal govt bossiness has come in over the last 10 years. It never used to be like this and it makes me cross that the govt, proper, has become what it is...a penny pinching, whining, pen-pushing, unaccountable, accusatory, secret society of bossy whingers.

Perhaps they were sickly children who were bullied at school and they determined to extract payback in their adult lives as politicans.

Obviously I should quit watching the home improvement shows on pay tv and start watching more free to air!
It will be interesting to go back to work tomorrow see if anyone else ran across the same show - but sadly they will probably all be talking about the MJ funeral.
