What is wrong with Australia?!?

by Karen on March 18, 2009

in Politics

The government of Australia has apparently lost it’s frakking mind. It has a secret list of nearly 1400 sites that can get Australian website owners fined $11K (AUD) for linking to them and there’s now a report out that the number of censored sites could expand to 10K.

Already, a significant portion of the 1370-site Australian blacklist - 506 sites - would be classified R18+ and X18+, which are legal to view but would be blocked for everyone under the proposal. The Government has said it was considering expanding the blacklist to 10,000 sites and beyond.

Australia has its crazies just like the rest of us, but this is something you expect out of a place like Saudi, not a western democracy such as Australia.

March 17, 2009

His Holiness decided to share this gem with the planet:
“You can’t resolve it [the AIDS epidemic in Africa] with the distribution of condoms,” the pope told reporters aboard the Alitalia plane headed to Yaounde. “On the contrary, it [the use of condoms] increases the problem.”
He also stated that the Roman Catholic Church is at the [...]

SyFy?

March 17, 2009

The Sci-Fi Channel, having managed to cancel practically every show it’s ever run that could be considered science fiction, has decided to rebrand itself as “SyFy”.
What would possess them to change their name to this silly word? They really dislike their base (well at least the base they acknowledge):
“The name Sci Fi has been associated [...]

Freedom of religion is freedom from religion

March 12, 2009

Atheist billboards and bus signs are spreading like a wildfire across North America so I suppose it’s about time some Christian said something so intensely stupid you just know they haven’t given two seconds of thought to what they said.
The Christian I write about is Bryan Fischer, executive director of Idaho Values Alliance, who issued [...]
