Well that sucks. I always thought Iceland would be a nice place to live one day.

Oh yea. Love the typical spin in the article.

From "violent pornography" to "violating the civil rights of the women in the videos". So laughable.

Here are couple hits on the head from the cluebat:

The oldest profession on the planet is prostitution.
Women know exactly what they are doing when they make these videos.
Women are not meek and helpless in western countries. Nearly every woman I know thinks everything men think, do, and say is wrong. And they are not afraid of telling a man, repeatedly over the course of 30 or 40 years of marriage, exactly that.

Whats next? Proposing that all teenage girls cover their eyes while taking a shower so as not to offend their fragile natures if they happen to glimpse their own naked body?

Some people are so sexually repressed it is simply amazing they manage to reproduce.

....there was also an article about you bro

I foresee interesting applications of the Incarna stripper club.

In other news, the video game "EVE Online" which had "pornography-like elements" was banned from the Iceland internet. Now, no one ever will be able to connect to the "EVE Online" servers.

servers in Iceland?

the cluster is in london gj

But where is CCP's revenue counted and taxed?

Anyway, if you can filter pornography then you can filter just about anything. < Insert slippery slope here. >

I for one, look forward to "sending my kids off to die in an endless war to keep Oceania free" overlords.

Iceland is taking a very progressive approach that no other democratic country has tried," said Professor Gail Dines, an expert on pornography and speaker at a recent conference at Reykjavik University.

I forsee more bandwith available on icelandic internet soon for some reason.

I'm interested to know what degree got him the title "expert of pron".

The unprecedented censorship is justified by fears about damaging effects of the internet on children and women.

Because men are not affected by pron, at all.

Clearly, the "expert on pornography" referenced in the article has not encountered ~certain types~ of the material, which might have caused them to reconsider their view on the classes of people who might be affected in a negative way.

Perhaps we could send him an endearing rendition of "terrible fanfic of Twilight" brought to us by the amazing DaBigRedBoat.

I like this part even better.

Limiting free speech and expression is progressive now?

It's the freedom to have anything censored before it reaches your eyes, because it may hurt your eyes. Or worse, your morals.

Freedom, protecting you from your own bad decisions.

Once upon a midnight dreary, whilst I **** surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious **** site of 'hot XXX galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, morning for my sweet amour,
"Tis not possible!", I muttered, "Give me back my free hardcore!",

Quoth the internet, 404

On this page by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there **** no more!? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'

Quoth the internet, 404

You can't ban pron on the internet! that's what the internet is made for - PRON!

I like this part even better.

Where I live, handguns are virtually banned. Can't carry one. Can't own one without a permit. Permit is freakishly expensive and bloody hard to get. Can't store one in your own home, unless it is locked in a box, with a trigger guard, and ammo is locked in a separate box, at least X meters away from the box containing the gun (read: useless). Etc., etc. And yet, we have daily crimes committed with those same prohibited handguns. Isn't that odd?

I dont know where you live, but gun ownership was made much more difficult in the UK in recent history, and gun crime is actually going down. 'criminals' are resorting to using flare guns because they simply cant find a weapon on the black market, etc.

So yes, banning / heavily restricting gun ownership and putting buy-back programmes in place does eventually lead to a lowering of gun crime

hide yo' flare guns, hide yo' knives cuz da gov'ment disarmin' ere'body up in hur'!
