Compendium of the Glorious and Horrifying


On Censorship… Sort Of

I was a-pondering as I so often do, and I thought I’d share my observations with you all. You see, I’m at a rather conservative university, and much of the Internet’s terrible bounty is unavailable to us. Unfortunately, this often includes some relatively innocuous material like LastFM (user-built radio stations) or Gaia Online (roleplaying game bulletin boards, I think?). Here’s a handy-dandy chart–charts are always funny, right?

SITE BLOCKED THE BLOCKER SAYS… THE REAL REASON WHAT ISN’T BLOCKED, STRANGELY
Xanga Social/Dating Site Socialize somewhere else, socialist. Facebook (It’s what the kids are into these days.)
Anthro subsection of deviantART Nudity; Gay/Lesbian Yiff in hell, furfag. Disney
Russian musician OMFO Pornography OMFO (“Our Man from Odessa”) could be an anagram for mofo, which is a sexual term I believe. Actual pornography, or so I’ve heard… through the grapevine…
YTMND [unblocked] Tasteless You, sir, have appallingly bad taste. Shame on you! Fox News
Some manga site Sexual Materials At least it’s human… but it’s still not American. You lose. The Fox News Sexologist (She’s not board-certified, fellas…)

I thought I had all the kinks worked out of this thing, but apparently my expectations were too high. Due to technical difficulties in WordPress (and maybe my version of Firefox?) this page will either look beautiful, like this:

Or bewildering, like this:

Her name is Afghanisu-tan, in case you’re wondering.

So if this site looks like a turd wrapped in gold leaf, it’s not my fault. Just pop it open in another tab, or, if nothing else, soothe the savage beast within with a refreshing Baby Rickroll.

***UPDATE***

Yipe! WiFi access to this site makes it look just peachy. It must be my recalcitrant wall hookup back in the dorm.
