The UK has been pushing laws to censor the internet, from a new angle.
Instead of putting censors on your computer, or having to call the cable provider to block the things you don't want, they are approaching it the opposite way.
All cable providers will now block pornography, and the likes, automatically, unless you call them up and specifically request access to it.
And now, Joy Smith, a Canadian politician, is pushing for these laws to come to Canada.
Personally, I think it is a great idea to protect kids this way, by not allowing the stuff into the house, unless specifically requested...
But everyone knows that Daddy is going to get that added into the plan, the first week that Mommy goes away for business...and once its in the house, we are back to square one.
Daddy's excuse?
"I have no idea how that got there."

Brooklyn Judaism Has Hit Britain
Many years ago in Brooklyn, at a ShopRite located on the border of Flatbush and Boro Park, a controversy arose.
For those that don't know Flatbush and Boro Park are big Jewish communities, that help make up Brooklyn, NY, the largest Jewish community outside of Israel.
The controversy was simple:
The Jewish people that came to the ShopRite didn't want to see the covers of the smutty magazines that were being sold there.
Now, this wasn't just about Playboy and Hustler, this included People and Newsweek.
So ShopRite complied and put black partitions in front of the magazine covers, so that just the titles stuck out, for those looking for the magazine.
In my opinion, this isn't fair to the Magazines, as the way they sell, is on impulse, based on the main story, generally featured on the front page.
And now, Britain has instituted it as well.

Seems like the rest of the world is catching up on modesty!
Tune in Wednesday when I discuss the new Porn rules there as well.
