    We should use the age verification laws to expose what some politicians are looking up online. They’ll turn this over in no time.

    It’s why your video rental history is federally protected. So, find your nearest Blockbuster.

    In January, Louisiana enacted a law that requires website operators to implement age verification technology if their site consists of 33.3 percent or more material on a site that’s “harmful to minors.” The laws typically define content that’s harmful to minors as appealing to prurient interests, and that consists of “pubic hair, anus, vulva, genitals, or nipple of the female breast; Touching, caressing, or fondling of nipples, breasts, buttocks, anuses, or genitals; Sexual intercourse, masturbation, sodomy, bestiality, oral copulation; flagellation, excretory functions, exhibitions, or any other sexual act.”

    Emphasis mine, bolded: finally. they’re making religious things 18+!

    Italics: dafuk ya doing over there, Louisiana?

      Okay. Next time you go to the movies, be sure to let the theater make a photocopy of your driver’s license.

        This is worse than that. This is letting them make a photocopy of your license and store it forever in a well-ordered filing cabinet in a locked room you hope no one unauthorized ever finds a way into. Because the government made you do it.
