Irony

China considers Blogspot and OKCupid as "porn," so I can't see them.

Actual porn, though, is apparently fine.

Would you like me to email you the various stuff I write about? Just so that you're in the loop?

I have ways of reading, but not commenting.

Silly Ben...

Everyone (http://www.youtube.com/player.swf?video_id=lr_HR-iIlYg&l=196) knows the Internet is for porn...

Intellectual smut rocks! Y'know, "normal" porn is porn for the Id. Blogspot and OKCupid are porn for the ego. I wonder what porn for the SuperEgo would be? Self-help books?

A simple matter of noetics.

Pornography is not as dangerous as the open exchange of ideas. There is nothing *new* or revolutionary about lust - breeding is necessary for the survival of our species.

I'm not surprised about the censorship, it's just strange that I get the "porn" error message and not the usual "404 not found" which one gets for other "political" sites (like BBC News.)
