Rants about Pants

2004-08-25 18:26:14.129793+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Over at Clean Sheets: Rants About Pants: Pre-Censoring Your World View talks about censorship in the figleafing of the U.S. televised version of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics:

If you remain locked away in your private fantasies, you've let the censors win. In the end, the censors are commercial-minded. If they can continue to sell you on the concept that only their approved version -- tawdry and cheapened as it is - is the real deal, the sought-for McGrail of pleasure, you'll lose your grasp on romance and love and genuine desire, and have exchanged it for the promise without delivery, the lie instead of the lay, and you'll have been screwed without the satisfaction.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
