censorship as counterproductivity
May. 12th, 2003 08:35 amI just opened up my web browser to start writing this post, and guess what-- with our new internet-filters-to-keep-us-slackers-from-maybe-having-too-much-fun, I can no longer access... guess which page. Just think. You're a business owner who thinks your employees are spending too much time online. Your webmaster, by the way, is right smack in the middle of optimizing your precious website for the search engines. Which page should you block her from viewing?
That's right...
Google.
They've fucking blocked Google.
Good Jesus, there are more retards in the world than there are competent humans.
ARGH.
Anyhow. I had meant to post quickly about my weekend in Buffalo. But then last night happened and I think I'll talk about Buffalo once I recover.
See, last night, about 15 miles from home, we learned a hard lesson: Even the Prius can run out of gas.
( Why Downstate NY Sucks )
In short, it sucked.
And now T's sanctimoniously informed me that the filters are important and necessary and it's just a damned shame that there's no better way to solve our problems.
Oh there so fucking are better ways; we're just too fucking cheap and lazy to use them.
