I feel out of the mainstream because I don’t think I have ever “stumbled upon” a porn site. When I type in whitehouse.gov [that is snark, not a typo] I know what I’m going to find and brace myself.

These people obviously don’t read the tags at Google, or whatever search engine they use. They don’t use the parental filters already in place. They don’t invest in any of the filtering software.

Another dose of pandering to the “base”, which is about as base as it gets.

The .XXX was a reasonable move that was highjacked for political purposes. PICS was another reasonable move that got political.

Weren’t these the same people who said no to the dot XXX domain because it would be too easy to find porn? I thought it would make it easier for a parent, suspicious spouse, or employer to find out who actually downloaded porn. It would have also cut down on accidentally find a porn sites like the old whitehouse.com. Besides, most adult websites have a page where you (wink) have to confirm that you are 18 before you enter, not that it stops a teenager from lying about his (or her) age. And does this mean I have to change my blog name? Because I do get people looking for porn on it. Makes me glad I didn’t name it “Ignorant slut”.
