I'm sexier than you.

OHHHHHHHHHHH, you're talking about POOOOOOOOORN, about those EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL SAM BROWNBACKS who want to REGULATE EVERY PC. Well, the PORN spamsters seem to have done enough to make PCs virtually useless. I guess I can live with 1000 come-ons every day in my in-box. Can you? Can your friends' children? (From the way you type we may safely assume you have none.)
