As the old saying goes, "The internet is made for porn." I'm not crazy about this whole push to mainstream the internet for the sake of advertisers. I don't give a damn about advertisers, and I don't want them to clean up the web the way Ghoul-iani cleaned up New York or people in Nevada sanitized Las Vegas.

Their brains have been molded by the constraints of corporate prudishness.
