This still amuses me. Free The LiveJournal Three! Possible because it's late and I'm immresed in my IRA research and well, I'm trying to make sense of it all and it's nice to have things like this to lugh about so there.
but than again, I have my moments of cruelty and I was hoping the people who said Cassie was not a plagiarist because of whatever (one such being that they all do it so not wrong)and banned me from various Harry Potter lists where I was once welcome... Pettiness. (Moments of pettiness.)
But in all honesty, I didn't think anything would happen. I thought it served two functions: it pacified parents and Christian elements who might have found this material and been offended by it or used it as justification to burn Harry Potter books. I think it also was an attempt to probably help protect their trademarks by saying it is out there and they don't tolerate it. (Because if they don't say that sort of thing, than they risk loosing potentially their trademark which is something that I believe Kleenex and Zipper lost because of failure to protect their trademarks.)
Heh, it's not just the "stamp out Internet child porn" people who are a problem. I believe it was Salon.com who did an article a while back on the subject and they said that the porn industry was supporting this crusade because the casual acceptance of this material is hurting their profits. Go figure.
