Under the Plain Brown Wrapper

Not to belabor a point, but do you notice anything odd about this? (Apart from the obvious idiocy of devoting precious resources to attacking the sale of pornography to consenting adults at a time like this, that is.)

Well, do you remember who Rupert Murdoch is? Australian media baron with major right wing tendencies; calls himself a "libertarian," but doesn't seem to mind interfering with other people's private lives if said private lives displease him, and has the resources to do so. Needless to say, he's a major supporter of politicians like George W. Bush because of their supposed stand for traditional values and against things like the free trade of sexually explicit materials. Naughty, naughty, says Rupert; people who indulge in porn are sinners and the government should go after them with both barrels!

Now, have another look at that Washington Post story. Notice who's raking in major bucks from pornography? Rupert Murdoch, that's who!

For my money, that kind of two-faced pretense is far more stomach-churning than almost any hump-hump flick you can find.
