For those of you who adored the song Gilad played while
we all waited for the lists of penguine types at the trivia
contest - here are the lyrics.

I'd like to use this opportunity to express my feelings about that song.
I felt it was ugly and entirely out of place in AP. The event represents
the people that came to it. I came to an event about FOSS, proud to be
part of this comunity - but when that song was played, I felt ashamed of
my presence in the hall. I have strong views against porn; I'm not
trying to force them upon others but the performance of that song
sort-of forced others' views on me. It felt a bit like being forced to
read spam.

I guess I'm over-reacting to something that was intended as a joke.
I just wanted to say it was a bad joke.
