Religious Group Now Protesting Online Porn in the Sky
I will never understand why some religious groups keep whining about the most inane sexual things, from Susan Storm's bra size to Princess Peach's underpants, but the last protest by religious group "Focus On The Family"—urging people to bully American Airlines for their in-flight unfiltered wireless internet access—makes me want to start slapping them right, left and center. Apparently, "Focus On The Family" is imagining row after row of seat screens full of all kinds of human, animal, and mini-fig genitalia. Their senior analyst for media and sexuality—take that Dr. Ruth—David Weiss had this very stupid thing to say:

"Because this nation has not been serious about vigorously attacking pornography, some believe it is appropriate to view in public. Not only will the flight attendants be placed in a situation that could be considered sexual harassment, passengers who openly view porn where children can see it may be violating federal harmful-to-minor laws."

1. So, because someone 'may" open porn, everyone has to suffer?
Talk about intrusion into my personal freedoms.

How about a rule that no pornorgraphy is allowed on board?

3. Wha?
Not everyone is 'into' porn, regardless of what "they" want you to think how prevalent it is.

"Sicko's at the helm" (and most of them ARE sickos) promote this crazy stuff that doesn't generally touch the lives of most of us.

P.S. And please spare me the stories of how "you've been touched" and didn't tell the f*cker/pervert to back off* when you were within all rights to do so.
