Editorial note: Various words which are often blocked by "Net Nanny" and other content screening systems have been altered by the use of .. *.. to replace a vowel. The meaning will be obvious to the intelligent reader, but not to a computer. There is nothing outright offensive in the content of this post, but the reader might disagree with the views I have expressed. That is the reader's right. Please remember that it is also my right to express these views.
Here is something which got my blood boiling, this morning.
Below is an advertisement which came from an Australian owned website, this morning - not from Texas or other "bible-belt" bigoted part of the world. The site itself (which I have deliberately NOT linked from this report) might be international, but the website on which this advertisement is carried is a major Metropolitan newspaper in Australia.
Part of my anger stems from the hypocrisy implicit in this claim - when you think how many Christian ministers and other helpers in "God's Vineyard"*** have been convicted of various "kiddie p*rn" offences, not to mention outright child abuse, and paed*philia.
I am afraid that the claim "Christian Owned" is a negative, in the context of this particular topic. And while the claim itself is presumably true, I find the fact that the advertiser finds it "relevant" to this topic to be arrogant, offensive, and bigoted.
***Bishops, Priests, Religious Brothers, "Boy Scout" leaders, school teachers (in religious schools), social workers, etc, etc, etc.

Child viewing p*rn?
