The European Union Rejects a Ban on Porn
Thursday March 14, 2013
The European Parliament has rejected a proposed ban on pornography. The ban was a part of a report by the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality to eliminate gender stereotypes in the European Union and its member states.

From the 'What Where They Thinking?' Files
Monday March 11, 2013
I was just perusing some sex toy catalogues and came across this:
WTF? I am open to pretty much everything and anything anyone wants to do but this one I just don't get. The box says that this strap is meant to help you 'control the rate and depth of fellatio'.

They are following the lead of the Edmonton Public School Board which happens to be the first and only in Alberta to have such a policy. See, this is the thing, people talk all the time about how backward Alberta is and yet in so many ways, it's so not true. Whenever I say that,...
