Porn Yesterday

Following this link, from an as usual spot-on Tbogg commentary, this time about a Congressman who has his ideas about evolution screwy (sorry to hear about your mom, Tbogg), I wound up fascinated by the ad from American Family Filter (rejected logo: that sucking sound is us as we skim your moral scum), and the Mom saying, "Pornography will NOT be on our computer again."

If you follow the link you find out why--it seems studies show that it has become too easy for teenage boys to get pornography. Thanks to the internets, no fifteen-year-old has to develop the wiles to sneak dad's Playboy out of the closet and back without getting caught or leaving the pages sticky. No longer does a resourceful teen have to develop the gall to try and buy some porn mag at the local Snack 'n' Whack Shop, hoping that the no more than a year-older counter-worker doesn't bust his chops for ID or that some mom from the church group won't pop in to buy her Weekly World News and some beef jerky, only to point said-jerky at soon to be jerking boy and say, "Wait till you mother finds out."

I mean, when I was growing up I had to walk five miles uphill in the snow both ways to the Quickie Mart to buy a Playboy, shaking with fear the whole way, knowing I was going to end up in hell wth the priest who touched other boys from our parish. Kids these days....
