http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/12/south-carolina-will-debate-bill-to-block-porn-on-new-computers/

A South Carolina politician is hoping to stop computer owners in his state from viewing pornography.

State Rep. Bill Chumley, a Republican from Spartanburg, told his hometown newspaper that his Human Trafficking Prevention Act would require manufacturers or sellers of computers or other devices that access the Internet to install digital blocks to prevent the viewing of obscene content. Blocking websites that facilitate prostitution would also be required, he said.

If a purchaser wants the filter lifted, he or she has to pay $20 to have it taken out—provided the person is over the age of 18.

    Just so everyone knows - I didn't write that about Aristarchus mother. But, I'm laughing my ass off. Dogs too, huh?

      Now, just stop that. I'm sure that Aristarchus has a real mother. She might even be a nice lady. I doubt it, but maybe she is. I mean - I have three sons, and they are all very different. You can't judge me by my sons - one of them is a lot smarter than I am, and the other two - well - they are different. Just stop picking on Aristarchus mom.

      Unless you can share the videos, anyway.

        With a child like Aristarchus, you can be sure that she's the kind of mother that enjoyed drinking rubbing alcohol and sniffing glue between sessions of anonymous sex with random barnyard animals.

        Rather interesting how the ACs' posts in this thread are all at +2 but somehow yours are at 0.

        People get so butthurt on this site these days. Too many vendettas :P

    So you are saying you aren't smart enough come up with it, but you approve of it anyway.

    > Just so everyone knows

    Gee. Thanks for letting us know! It was important.

      I'm saying that I didn't cause his butt-hurt, but I'll laugh when people give him some more butt-hurt. And, WTF did you come from? Yo mama jokes have been around for as long as there have been mamas.

        I heard a Victorian one on the BBC the other day:

        Young Man: My friend, I see that your collar is unpressed today. Why is that?
        His Friend: Why, your mother did not send out the laundry today!
