  Re:

  Okay, but all funny aside, what kills me about this particular classification is the premise.
  
  If viewing small breasts on film can make you more likely to become a pedophile, then actually having sex with a small-breasted woman must be that much worse.
  
  Therefore, relations with women with smaller breasts should cease immediately. For the children!

  Re: Re:

  By their boob standards, I was ready for porn in the sixth grade but Olivia Wilde never will be. Despite my love of large boobs, that's just wrong.

  Yup, because porn with boobs smaller than a C cup is illegal in Australia. They were thinking of the children!

  You forgot the /sarcasm at the end of this post.
  
  Because... this post is really a joke, right?

  Re: Re: Good grief!

  Pickle, you seem to be saying that USA won't cover it because it wasn't made in the USA, but Canada won't cover it because it was sold in the USA? And this is supposed to be the sensible explanation?
  
  All Samsungs are made in Korea. This one was sold in America. End of story.

  Re: Cross-border purchasing

  From a practical standpoint, where it was made doesn't matter. Warranties kick in based on where it was sold - in this case, America, not a foreign country.

  Rose M. Welch ( profile ), 20 Oct, 2010 @ 05:55pm

  Don't they have copyright over their notes? A fixed expression of what they heard...
  
  And how about free speech?
  
  This really is a stupid mess we're in.

  Re: Actually that's not so bad

  Are you serious? Attorneys will do anything for their per-hour fee.
  
  I once took an attorney with me to small claims court, because I had a slam dunk case and I wanted the plaintiff to have to pay my attorney's fees as well as what she owed me.
  
  It was a beautiful thing.

  Re:

  NPR reporters were told that they can't personally attend rallies or meetings that NPR covers. They get written reminders every now and again, including about the Sanity rally.

  Adults spying on and secretly taking photos of teens? No time.
  
  The guy who leaked a track from Chinese Democracy? In jail in two days.
  
  Ahh, priorities...
