AG Gonzales wants warning labels on "sexual" websites


So what is sexual and what is not?
When a politico starts claiming it's "for the children," 99 times out of a hundred, they don't want you to think about it. They want your gut reaction and no questions asked.

Usually they reveal that they don't trust you to make the right decision as well.

Well, guess what.

A mandatory rating system will "prevent people from inadvertently stumbling across pornographic images on the Internet," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said at an event in Alexandria, Va.

The Bush administration's proposal would require commercial Web sites to place "marks and notices" to be devised by the Federal Trade Commission on each sexually explicit page. The definition of sexually explicit broadly covers depictions of everything from sexual intercourse and masturbation to "sadistic abuse" and close-ups of fully clothed genital regions.

"I hope that Congress will take up this legislation promptly," said Gonzales, who gave a speech about child exploitation and the Internet to the federally funded National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The proposed law is called the Child Pornography and Obscenity Prevention Amendments of 2006.

My answer is simple, I want the uniform rule of law.

If you have warning labels on websites, I think we should have them for every single thing that mentions or shows sex or sex related activity.

Of course, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue should sport one.

Speaking of which, we're coming into summer. Every girls and ladies swimsuit should also sport a warning label as well.

Prom dress or spring dance dress? Definitely should have one.

Wedding dress? Yep.

Every single news story that mentions a new child should have one. Not to mention all the news stories about rapes, abortions, and date rape. Hmm, now that I think about it, that lady newscaster might be dressed too seductively. No makeup without a warning label, and definitely no clothing that even hints at cleavage.

Can't stop there. Religious books are next. If you take out all the sex and violence out of the Bible, you're going to end up with a very short book.

We're doing it for the children.

Classical art certainly gets a warning label, can't have all those bare breasts or exposed genitalia.

Walt Whitman's poetry rates one. but that is nothing new.

And if we listen to some of the anti-gun crowd, guns are just masturbatory substitutes anyway, so all the gun magazines and shooting ranges get one.

I forgot about MILK! How much more sexual can you get? That HAS to have a warning label. And don't get me started about CHOCOLATE MILK!! Obviously a plot to seduce our children.
