I read an AP article on the Foxnews website where Google is working diligently to keep pornography from reaching China . Now, I recognize how the Chinese government has a desire to censor many forms of information in order to limit the freedom of its subjects; but, isn’t pornography bad for everyone, adults and children?
“We have been continually working to deal with pornographic content — and material that is harmful to children — on the Web in China," the statement said.”
Why isn’t Google working to keep pornography off the internet everywhere else? The rest of the world is, after all, part of the same human race; are the Chinese somehow more important? I can just hear the explanations offered at one of their morning meetings down at Google.
“We have 20% of our income associated with the porn industry here in the States; but only 2% in China; is that about right Humphries?”
“Yes, Sir; about 20% of our information searches have to do with pornography; but those figures are misleading. Most of those numbers are from California and the East Coast. The so called “fly over” states don’t seem nearly as interested in porn as they are in wholesome traditional topics.”
“So, you’re saying we need to ramp up our efforts to make porn more available to folks, say in Peking, Oklahoma or Nebraska?”
“I don’t think you understood what those numbers mean, Sir.”
“Humphries, could you be a little more specific; I mean, everyone deserves the same opportunity to become degenerates addicted to porn, don’t they?”
“Sir, these folks don’t want porn entering their homes in any way, shape or form. They don’t want to view it and they don’t want their children viewing it either.”
“What’s wrong with them; aren’t they Americans? Don’t they appreciate the fact that there’s no censorship here in our country? We can say anything we damn well please without worrying about some do-gooder bleeping out what isn’t proper and prim. We’ve gotten past morality barriers. Personal degradation is a natural right here in America.”
“That reminds me, Sir; your significant other, Charlie, called. He said to tell you that his HIV test came back positive and was wondering if that will affect the adoption proceedings for that cute little Cambodian boy.”
“Such a sweet looking boy; found his picture on our chat room’s bulletin board and we just had to have him for our very own.”
“About that China issue, Sir; I don’t think they give a hoot about threatening them with ACLU lawyers. Wouldn’t it be in our interests to simply close down the porn sites which offend them? We could start by doing away with those side bar advertisements for hot babes in your area, the ones which promise to get you in bed by nine.”
“I told you when we first started doing business with the Chinese how this whole business of pornography and religion was going to be a problem. Isn’t that what I said?”
“Just a moment, Sir, while I review my notes of that meeting… yes, you did say, “Those damn Chinese are almost as bad as the Baptists.”
Yup, just look how much better we are here in America because we can look up any porn site you want and have it instantly fill a room. We’re a regular beacon on a hill for the rest of the world when it comes to freedom of speech.
