catscradle Oct. 30th, 2003 11:24 am)Since it is Protection from Pornography week, I thought I'd take a moment to issue out my own warnings to my LJ community.
Here's a definiton of Pornography from Dictionary.com
So based on defintion #3, I went out looking for potential harmful pornography that may go undetected. Be on the lookout for these pornographic issues. Some of these articles are explicit in their violence, fear mongering and erotic teasers of finacial bliss:
Sniper Porn - I thought we were perhaps done with Sniper Porn, but it's back in the news again. Now I get that the sniper was a scary thing and news worthy, but it's the type of coverage it got and is getting now that I object to. The fear it induced in people that were hundreds of miles away, the bashing of Islam that was bantered. . . Yesterday the head story on CNN was how a survivor was bought closer to God after being shot.
Financial Porn - Economic growth! The best ever! We're on our way to finacial recovery. Again! Really! Oh, but the job market still sucks. . . But pay no attention to the man behind curtain.
Schwarzenegger Porn - What else could you call any press for Arnold?
Solar Porn - A few days ago there was this big firey yellow mass exploding on the front page of CNN. I thought we were all going to die as this thing came hurdling towards us. Turns out - ha, ha - it was just the freaken sun! Yeah, there was a big storm on the sun that was going to cause some disruptions in cell phones and pretty lights in the sky, but guess what? SUN. Ever hear the They Might Be Giant's Song? "The sun is a mass of incondecent gas, a giant nuclear furnace." It's no shock that the sun, from time to time, exibits violent tendencies. Issue out a warning that some electronic thingys and cell phones will be disrupted, but hey, look that the pretty lights! We don't need this:
Taken out of context, it sounds like we're going to hit by a firey inferno. No disrespect for John Kohl, who was speaking in terms of what in means astronomically.
Thus ends my porn alert. Stay informed, stay safe!

"It's like the Earth is looking right down the barrel of a giant gun pointed at us by the sun...and it's taken two big shots at us," said John Kohl of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Everytime they talk about job growth, I want them to list how many of those jobs are in the service industry and/or have no health benefits.
