What we need is more adult fare in our libraries

Written by The Sarcasmist on February 3, 2012 - Comments (8)

The American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that is always at the forefront of what is important, is suing a Washington state library district for not allowing library patrons to access pornographic websites using the library computers.

Director, Dean Marney has said in a statement that, “We are a publicly funded institution. It is crazy to think that we should be required to use tax dollars to allow open access to Internet pornography or to become illegal casinos.”

It’s not crazy at all. What happened to free speech? Just because some lady went berserk after her two elementary-school girls saw pornographic images on a public library monitor, it doesn’t mean that perverts without internet access should be denied the inalienable right to watch adult entertainment in full view of anyone passing by.

Hopefully, parents will come to their senses and realize that not only is this type of incident harmful, but it saves them having to go through the torture of the ‘birds and bees’ speech without any context.

  1. I believe you mean adult fare

  2. now your entire article will be disregarded by this misuse of one word.

      You forgot to add your “typical” sound effect, after the typical line – reaction, let me help you with that Audio On and replay “I don’t know what you are talking about. Edit button to the rescue!”*snicker*

  5. Good save. If it gets messy, eat it over the sink.

  6. Sure, you scoff now, but if they ban porn, what’s next? Karl Marx? Hitler? Barry Manilow? Math? Science? History? It’s all a big mystery?

  7. Excuse me while I laugh my ass off.

    2 minutes later

    10 minutes later . . .
    That was a nice laugh. I’m not so sure about this. After all, it is a library, they can just go get some romance novels and read their porn, like the nerds.
