N.J. Bans Sex Offenders From Social Networking Sites
New Jersey’s parole board yesterday voted unanimously to bar those convicted of sex crimes from using the Internet to network. That this will do very little to help public safety means nothing; N.J. could pass a law requiring registered sex offenders to chop off their own hands and the majority of the public would probably cheer. There are some questions, of course; where does the law stop? It’s targetd at Facebook and Myspace, of course, but what about YouTube, which has commenting and community? Are registered sex offenders allowed to comment here? Are the New Jersey police going to ask me for the server logs so they can comb through for sex offenders? (Okay: No, but you see where I’m going with this.) Apparently, the rule is you can’t post a profile. And sex offenders can still use email. Hey, a feel-good solution that does nothing to actually prevent underage sex solicitation online! But I think my hypothetical pales in comparison to that of a poster on the always incredible Courier-Post forums.
Please, won’t someone think of the oranges? N.J. bans sex offenders from networking sites [Courier-Post] |

Uh oh, won’t Richard Simmons have to stop posting? He’s offended my sexual sensibilities for years.
Dude! My MySpace profile! Sweet!
I once sexually assaulted an orange …. but it was a navel orange, so it was asexual. So I don’t think I did anything wrong, other than burn my pee hole by sticking it in an acidic fruit.
