I haven’t posted anything yet about the proposed mandatory default-on porn filter in the UK for a constellation of reasons, including but not limited to:

  • The Britses be crazy, yo;
  • Outrage fatigue;
  • An ever-growing skepticism about the utility of online awareness-raising;
  • My persistent failure to believe that even politicians are really that stupid;
  • My distaste at most of the porn-sheepish mainstream commentary; and
  • The stupid, it BURNS!

Below are are the best of the week so far, and they’re damn good.
