It’s Wednesday. I’m at work, and this is the first time this week I have actually had time to write here. We’re being audited. I had to demonstrate our auditing methods to the audit police yesterday. I can’t say it wasn’t a little nerve-wracking. It all went terribly well however and I did not cause us to fail our audit. I will however be very pleased when we recruit a new QA manager. I have actually taken Friday off this week. That means tomorrow is my Friday, or Thur-Friday as I like to call it. On Friday I am planning an eye test an Christmas shopping with the boy.
Right, lets talk about porn. As you will be aware, this week saw the British government ban a whole list of kinky activities from British-made porn. I’m not sure how big the UK porn industry is, but from this week there’s apparently going to be less variety. The anti censorship lobby were very quick to point out that the list of banned activities appears to be an entirely arbitrary collection of kinky stuff, possibly sexist, and certainly open to interpretation. The oddest thing of all however would seem to be that, although these activities are apparently far too filthy to record or stream, it’s still perfectly OK to watch them, or indeed take part in them as long as no one else can see you do it.
In protest at the new porn regulations, a protest has been organised in London on Friday. It is hoped that 500 people will descend upon Westminster and perform simulated sex and a mass face-sitting. This sounds absolutely hilarious to me, and I almost want to go up there and at least spectate. However, I do have to look after the boy and frankly, the dragon would be livid if I took him to a mass face-sitting event. He is only 8, and one could argue that it would be inappropriate. However, my thoughts will most definitely be with the protesters and I will be sending positive energy.
And it seems that the British government is hell-bent on regulating our sex organs this week. Today the Home Secretary, Theresa May has said that doctors who carry out ‘designer vagina’ cosmetic surgery could be committing a criminal offence, unless there is a physical or mental health justification. Firstly, click on that link and tell me, is it just me, or does everyone give an involuntary shudder when the word “vagina” appears next to a picture of Theresa May? Secondly, cosmetic surgery on vaginas is possibly a legal issue, but it’s apparently perfectly OK to enhance boobs? Anyone else find that strange? I notice also that our Home Secretary doesn’t appear to have found it necessary to to bring penises into the argument. And what about body piercing? I got my knob pierced for a bet 17 years ago. Am I a criminal, or just an idiot? It certainly could be argued that it is a cosmetic measure, and some ladies do get their parts pierced too. Is that FGM? So many questions.
