The porn compananies, having the most to lose are on the front line AND have the resources to wage a winning battle; more so than CNN who would be likely to cave into censorship (as we have seen in their recent past). Slightly off-subject: While we (right thinking people) might not agree on what's black and what's white, we do agree on what's what. OCNS editorials reflect that; our writers are from all over the religious and political spectrum, and they're the best and most thoughtful writers on the Internet AND we don't necessarily agree editorially but we mutually respect nth degrees of honesty, and editorially the paper reflects that Freedom of Speech as a matter of policy. More or less on-subject: While at OCNS we don't have xxx-like sexual content, we do write on adult issues (politics, comedy, science, men's health, and so on), so intentionally we (try to) hear what's what and from time to time we get lucky. No where is it written that the Britney/Pepsi "deal" would protect her from becoming damaged goods, but business is business. I'm glad to see one of the recognized players in pornworld be responsible to common decency, for whatever their reason. Here's today's news from porno's never, ever land via the following e-mail... What next?? With peace dxm ************* Subject: [AC Announcements]Important Update to Banned List Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 11:40:21 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Webmasters, At the advice of legal counsel, we have added "Britney Spears" to the list of banned words and phrases.
