Nuns and Nazis on TV? That depends on what channel they're watching. If it's on an adult channel, I have no problem with it. If it's on Nickelodeon, then that's a problem.

Exactly!! ... there are channels on TV which separate content and rate it based on the target audience. We don't have that online.
Sites which redirect url's like whitehouse.com, or worse, misspells of children's brands to porn are the equivalent of putting a porno add on nickelodeon TV ... if it happened on TV, *someone* would be held responsible, even if it isn't within their control.

The problem is when someone see's a titty when they're not expecting it. Look at the ruckus the Superbowl caused here in the U.S. when Janet Jackson flipped her fun bag out for everyone to see. That was a surprise and there were families viewing who had no interest in seeing her tah tahs.

I was thinking of this example also ... while its just a tit, and the outcry was rediculous ... the whole point is choice. If that choice is taken away from parents, our argument of 'its the parents responsibility' is completely useless.
Alex, the same principal applies for this:

Adults should be free to roam as they please. Choosing to go (electronically) into a dirty book store in Amsterdam shouldn't be any different in real life or on the net.

What about if someone comes out of the adult bookstore, grabs you and drags you inside and shoves a copy of 'tight assed trannies' in your face? Should the store be allowed to do that?
Our arguments which revolve around "Parents should have the choice" are completely useless ... because many pornographers take away the parents choice just by where & how we publish our sites. We all got cocky, we all got used to no rules, now we are going to have to pay for it.
