Online Porn Just Pretext for Censorship, Group Says

The Chinese government just can't help it's totalitarian tendencies. It is a nation, after all, that has never known democracy and seems hell bent on repressing for as long as possible. Now that the sparkle of the Beijing Olympics has dimmed, the Chinese government feels it can drop all the pretty pretenses of a democratic peoples' utopia. We are able, again, to see the Chinese government for what it truly is: A bunch of freedom-fearing quasi-fascists. An international group of journalists is protesting one of the latest efforts to keep the Chinese people down: Reporters Without Borders regards the campaign against Internet porn that China launched on 5 January as just a pretext for reinforcing online censorship. More than 90 websites have so far been blocked, but some of them have no pornographic content. Foreign ministry spokesperson Jian Yu nonetheless insisted today that “China takes a positive and open minded attitude toward the management of the Internet.” FULL ARTICLE...

Young Children Exposed to Porn on Streets of Rogers Park

No, it's not a nude picture of aging hippy Katy Hogan. But she is displaying a large drawing of a woman, fully frontally nude, on the street in the window of the pseudo-counterculture hangout that she is a partner in, The No Exit Cafe. Located at 6970 N. Glenwood in Chicago, the crummy little storefront "theater" is along a stretch of sidewalk between Morse and Lunt where young children frequently walk on their way to and from school. (Click photos for larger images.)

If this crappy piece of "art" was displayed in a more private area there would be no problem. But to display it prominently in the front window is tantamount to plastering it on the CTA wall directly across the street, which is the site of the failed SSA#24 "Mile of Murals" project. Hogan, by the way, is one of the decision makers on the postponed Mile of Murals debacle. Let's hope Hogan doesn't push for full frontal nudity in the public murals that may - or may not - eventually be painted on the walls of Rogers Park. The No Exit Cafe can be reached at (773) 743-3355.
