I saw both of those again last week when someone at another forum thought they would be funny. They didn't have the same effect as the first time I saw them, but they were still revolting. Especially t--girl. That was just wrong. The g--tse guy looked cartoonish somehow.
I think they should turn off the internet. We saw everything there was to see about 2 years ago, and it's just porn and religious cults now. I want to subscribe to magazines again.

(I remember loving getting the Publisher's Clearinghouse Giveaway packet, not because I had any real expectation of winning $10 Million on SuperBowl Sunday, but because of the cheap magazine prices ... I had piles of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and one of the Mystery Magazines (Ellery Queen or Alfred Hitchcock) that had to be shifted with a forklift.)

When I was a kid, I went through all the rigmarole to enter the sweepstakes without purchasing anything. I actually won!
Two checks for less than a dollar each, which didn't cover the stamp cost, and which I never cashed. But I'm pretty sure they removed my parents' address from their mailing list.

It is not the information that may or may not be bad, but what one does with that information...

I read online somewhere the instructions for hacking a soda vending machine by pressing the buttons in a certain sequence. Think of the button layout as a keypad. If you enter different sequences, you can do all sorts of things like change the pricing of the cans, including changing the price to zero. Changing (or maybe just checking) the temperature of the machine. Accessing sales statisitics in the small LED screen. Etc. Etc.
I tried it out on a machine at work, and it actually works. I didn't steal any soda, and I reset the machine to how I found it, but I thought it was interesting. |

It's cool that so far every choice has garnered at least two votes. This means the choices are relevant, at least to the Cellar's readership. Well done, Rich.
I voted with that large minority that prides itself on its BS detection.

I thought that you were identifying yourself ("Insufficient Authority") and then giving a command ("Do not open this thread"). It was as though someone said "Police - Dont move"; but, your chosen identity just didn't lend any weight to the order! So, :p .

Do not forget that laws are supposed to arise from ethics , and not vice-versa .

The point about snuff films and child pornography is that laws are broken and people are harmed to create them, hence viewing them makes one an accessory. From a pure information standpoint, is there anything that people should not be allowed to watch/listen to/experience/know?
