Warning: Boobs Ahead. Do You Understand And Wish To Continue?

Those of you who have spent any time on the interweb searching for smut have surely run across the warning that accompanies any Blogspot blog that someone somewhere has deemed “objectionable.” Of course, Google would never actually “censor” content on their free web hosting service–they just put up a giant sign post blocking you from the site you’re trying to reach, and imply that you must be some sort of twisted perv for even wanting to see it. But if you’re okay with that you can go ahead and click through, you big freak. We could write a book about the silliness of that system, but we much prefer this more subtle form of protest: the “I Understand And I Wish To Continue” Award. It’s given out by one Blogspot blog to others that have been thrown behind that great beige wall because their erotic content is too hot for sensitive eyes. It almost makes us wish we were on Blogspot too so that we might be eligible to win one. (Almost, that is. We’re sure you understand.)

    That’s awesome. I’m not sure whether to be flattered or offended that Lusty Lady hasn’t gotten this warning yet (though I’ve toned it way down, there’s still toplessness in the archives). Livejournal does it too. But trust me, you guys SO don’t wish you were using Blogger. Even with new Blogger, it’s no WordPress or anything close.

    I’m saddened to hear that blogs like Fine Nudes have been ‘awarded’ the objectionable flag and bewildered as to how my site, which includes far more explicit content, bypasses the annoying splash page.

    It’s censorship akin to the NC-17 rating, which hinders a film’s chance to be seen. It’s not a complete ban, but it’s still a blockade.

    And you guys are running a porn and sex blog with out a warning page. The little guys should have the same right.
