Sen. Judd Gregg speaks on cyberporn
Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) is the chairman of the Senate appropriations committee's subcommittee that funds the FBI. Today he spoke at Digital/AltaVista's "Summit on Internet Content Filtering & Third-Party Rating." He said that he "disagreed with the Supreme Court" ruling that struck down the CDA as unconstitutional. He praised the FCC and the V-chip. He also said: "In a recent study, the Carnegie Mellon Institute found 917,410 sexually explicit pictures, short stories, and film clips online within an 18-month period." Uh-huh. -Declan

Gee, I wonder who put the 'other' 410 on the InterNet. The Pervert "I thought I was the *only* one doing that shit."

That's less than 1/10 porns per second! You would think that the Carnegie Mellon Institute could afford a faster link. -I am not myself today

They spent 18 months searching and they only found a combined total 917,410 instances of the above? That's hilarious! It's times like these that remind me that parents really do need to watch out for what their kids do on the net. Of course far more than 917,410 people are killed every 18 months in car accidents, so the net shouldn't be at the top of the list of scary things a parent has to deal with by a long shot. Good advice: Never let your children use search engines. _I_ can rarely find what I want using them. -Colin
