There Are No Libertarians: Viagra Ads Dept.

I something snide the other day about the regulation of Viagra ads. My friend Desconhecido weighs in with an observation on the nature of freedom:

I've always enjoyed the fact that people get angry over the use of sex to sell Viagra or condoms, but they are fine with ads that use sex to sell cars, computers, all sorts of chazzerai. I guess you can use sex to promote anything except sex.

I told a neighbor years ago that the way we keep our kid from seeing all the objectionable stuff she was complaining about was not to have cable or internet at home. ... [M]y neighbor was just fine with having the government censor what's on tv, but she was horrified at the suggestion that she would have to take responsibility for what came into her home or telling her kids no. Love it.

A while back a fella told me about Rep. Mary Bono, Sonny's widow, endorsing a censorship bill because parents on their own can't resist the peer pressure. Hu-lo, isn't that what we signed up for?

Meanwhile Ignoto says that "no Viagra before 10 pm" is a loser because all the guys who need it are asleep by 930.
