Tony Comstock has raised the alarm on Google’s Sex Ghetto:
“Somehow he (I’m going to have to assume this engineer is a man,) when confronted with the vagaries English language, was able to write an algorithm that allowed 30 million “safe†returns for [penis]. But when faced with the same problem for [clitoris] he found it easier to simply put clitoris on a list of banned words.”
Susie Bright writes about the word clitoris being on the Google banned words list:
The people suffering from being firewalled and banned aren’t commercial porn-makers with some gonzo to pitch — they’re educators, healthcare professionals, midwives, nurses, doctors, researchers, artists, writers, filmmakers, political activists, critics and analysts— all of whom find their interest in women’s lives to be shrouded in the great Internet burqa of “safeness.”
TastyTrixie can’t find her clit on Google!:
“My guess is that banning “clitoris” has very little (if anything) to do with a campaign to censor feminist thought and information and women’s bodies, and a whole lot more to do with thoughtlessness along with this thing Bill Maher talks about, with men trained to bow to “feminized”/feminINE values that anything that makes them erect is BAD.”
Rachel Kramer Bussel has an article on the Frisky about unprotected sex:
“So how is it that just a week ago, I switched places with these guys and became the one to instigate condomless sex?”
Rachel Maddow on Conan O’Brian (video):
“That is the single best thing about coming out of the closet, is that nobody can insult you by telling you what you just told them.”
Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks one aspect of the Obama marriage we should all emulate:
“Specifically, if you watch their body language carefully, you’ll see that Michelle and Barack communicate with each other in a way that is rare among presidential couples: when Michelle Obama is speaking, Barack makes eye contact with her and listens with interest to what she’s saying.”
OMG boobies: CBS has an official site for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. (via Mashable).
David Denby of the New Yorker liked Gus Van Sant’s Milk:
“Van Sant wants to tell the political story accurately and in detail, but “Milk†is anything but starchy. The righteous march of events is warmed by the banter, the casual sex, and the candor of the gay milieu of the giddy seventies, the period just before AIDS, when life was free and easy. . .The gay leader becomes a superb pol with a human-rights agenda, and the movie offers a mildly subversive suggestion: attracting the electorate is not all that different from picking up a young man in the subway.”
