Clitblocked By Google

This is not going to be a very coherent post, I suspect. More of an angry “I need to vent” kind of rant. Hot on the heels of being censored by Vimeo came the news that Blogger (owned by Google) was giving users 4 days to remove any adult advertising from their sites. The email sent out to those who had voluntarily labelled their blogs NSFW didn’t bother to define Read More …

Ladies, Your Clitoris Is Not Safe

This is not my topic but I thought I’d blog about it because it’s caused a stir. Tony Comstock’s distressed crusade against the insanity of Google’s “safe” filters continues. He’s found that, with SafeSearch turned on, Google delivers NO results for the word “clitoris” but 33 million results for the word “penis”.

The article proved difficult to research thanks to the bazillion Christian-based sites out there raving about the terrible dangers of cybersex and how it’s always “addictive” and ruins relationships. I spent over an hour Read More …
