lol, oh bloody hell, your just as bad as [deleted].

Aside from watching the American who addressed the Press Club about the future of the internet, as shown on ABC TV this week, I've actually spent time in the USofA.

The aforementioned American asserted that when it comes to the USofA, they would rather lose their cell phone access, then their internet, then their TV, whereas here in Oz, we would rather lose our TV, then our internet, then our mobile phone access.

I was particularly amazed at this proven/polled/researched opinion because having spent time in the USofA, I have seen their TV.

It is the most (happily I might add) censored medium you could hope to see in comparison to what we get here in Oz. In fact, shows they make there that they sell to us here, look/sound quite differently to the product we get to see here. Yup, we get the UNCENSORED versions in many cases !

So, with that in mind, in a country that cares more about its TV (and TV which they are already quite happy/used to being censored to pieces) than internet, do you think Obama is going to have much trouble establishing filtering systems that suit his aims, hmmm ?

Get Real.
