Okay, Well That Takes Care of That
Rock stars, conventions, and all manner of fun stuff have cancelled events in North Carolina because of North Carolina’s LGBT Laws.
Hi Straw, meet Camel’s back.
There’s a new kink in North Carolina’s LGBT controversy: A popular porn website is banning all computers from “The Tar Heel State.”
XHamster.com has been refusing to serve anyone from North Carolina since 12:30 p.m. EDT, Monday.
Instead, users with a North Carolina IP address are just seeing a black screen on their computer — no porn.
Okay, now don’t everybody rush over to Hamster.com because there’s more to this story.
The owner of the site explains his reasoning —
“Back in March, we had 400,000 hits for the term ‘Transsexual’ from North Carolina alone,” he said. “People from that state searched ‘Gay’ 319,907 times,” he added.
So what this means is that there’s one guy in North Carolina who spends all his time searching for gay and/or transexual themes or that there’s a fair amount of interest among those church going folks who spend Sunday afternoon in the basement with their computers.
Long time viewers know that I went to North Carolina in 2012 to fight against their anti-gay law. I didn’t do much good but I did piss off a whole busload of church ladies in the Best Western Hotel free breakfast bar so it was not a wasted trip.
Thanks to Mel and Fred for the heads up.
X-Hamster has this cute little hamster head on the screen before the movies start and his eyes follow your cursor all over the screen, not that I would know from personally watching this stuff. 🙂 I swear to dog.
1Would a rolled up newspaper, a small circulation one, whacked sharply on the nose do better? I’m not sure. There’s hundreds of years of people in that region marinating in their own wrongness to overcome. Darwin might understand why they evolved to be what they are, but the question is how to lead them to normal without endangering the rest of us. Build a wall?
2Instead of a blank screen I would recommend a rotation of
3your “top notch” Republican candidate faces.
Ah, yes! the obverse side of the same coin. All those users of X-Hamster, where are their cries of dissent and woe? Nope. Can’t hear them. I guess they must be silently fulminating before releasing the Krakon (whatever they think that is)!
4“Pissing off busloads of church ladies” sounds like fun. Kudos to the artists, companies and musicians who are boycotting this act of institutional discrimination, but let’s get them to boycott all the states with voter ID laws which are also discriminating against the young, poor, old and disabled and effectively stacking the decks for the RKlan.
5More good news is that Deutsche Bank has cancelled an expansion in NC that would have created 250 jobs.
“I’m shocked, shocked to find porn on the internet.”
6I imagine all those religious, red state porn fans have had their natural urges so repressed that this is their only outlet. And, of course, when that is the straw that breaks N.C.’s back, they will blame it on some other thing.
7No video of the Best Western Breakfast Bar?!?!? Damn…(Sorry Mama).
8I’m a church lady and I second Wyatt Earl’s comment, including the apology to Mama! Am frequently embarrassed and infuriated by the un-Christlike behaviors and attitudes of my fellow church-goers. Last Sunday during the “passing of the peace,” was working my way up the aisle when I caught myself before saying “The peace of Christ be with you” to a notoriously grumpy and outspoken church lady. Had been told a few days earlier by another member that “grumpy lady” had a strong dislike for the “passing of the peace.” Changed my greeting to the more acceptable “you are looking good today” and she complimented my befeathered hat. Go figure!
9Uh oh. And now the good church women of NC and the US are being told that sex toys lead to demonic possession. No porn. No dildoes. No contraception. No abortions. No healthcare. No living wage. Pretty soon the women will be moving out of NC altogether.
10What– Gays in NC. How can that be? Is the Gov. going to come out? Him and the rest of of the GOP? Who knew?
11We need a WMDBS Bus Tour. Ms JuanitaJeanHerownself can take us to all the places where she spanked those who needed spankin’. We’ll put together a nice little book of her adventures to sell and profits will go to Fort Bend Dems!
12I’m conflicted about all this. I have a ticket to see John Prine in Wilkesboro, North Carolina on the 28th of this month. I’ll bet he will have something to say about all this.

13North Carolina is apparently just one huge yard sale. Or, at least that is what the NC lege would like people to believe. Don’t know if all that concern for other people’s junk makes them concern trolls or trolling for junk.

Must be some sort of correlation here.
15Ralph Wiggam, I have a solution for you. Go to the John Prine concert in drag. I love Prine; it would be a shame to miss it.
16“House Speaker Beth Harwell announced Thursday that she is moving Rep. Jeremy Durham’s office to the ground floor of a building across the street and that his access to committee rooms and the House chamber will be limited to when meetings are taking place. The move comes amid a state attorney general’s investigation into the Franklin Republican’s “pattern of conduct” toward women.”

No firing. No censure. It appears that the snacilbupeR in NC have a padded room or a “time-out” room for their pervangelist politicians.
17GOP cosponsor of anti-trans bathroom bill is a danger to ‘unsuspecting women’, probe finds….”Attorney General Herbert Slatery issued a warning that the lawmaker’s behavior posed “a continuing risk to unsuspecting women who are employed by or interact with the legislature…. Slatery said that the warning was necessary because of information learned during interviews with 34 different women.
“With few exceptions, the women who related incidents felt they could not report Representative Durham’s behavior because nothing could be done and they did not want to lose their jobs..” http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/gop-cosponsor-of-anti-trans-bathroom-bill-is-a-danger-to-unsuspecting-women-probe-finds/
18Verrrryy interresstinkkk. Why do you think they are so worried about porn and transsexuals? They know themselves pretty well so they preach against it.
19Bryan Adams canceled his concert too. Yeah!
20Yeah, well, tonight Rachel reported that McCrory has begun slithering into his hole. Backward. Apparently, he’s starting to weaken. To sound like he’s looking for a way out of the mess.
Now, I’m not saying the porn-site-shut-down had anything to do with it. Perish the thought!
All I’m saying is that PayPal backed out and McCrory dug in.
One governor after another after another have urged their constituents to stay out of the state and McCrory said, “Oh yeah? Well I’m tellin’ my people to stay out of your state, nyah, nyah!”
How many businesses rescheduled conferences while McCrory backed his ears?
Two rock stars that I know of canceled concerts and McCrory was unmoved.
The Feds threatened to pull funding and McCrory turned up his nose.
A porn site pulled its services and McCrory started looking for a way out.
Just sayin.
21Two Crows, this just goes to prove the old saying “the flesh is willing.” I know! I’m a bad nana! Will stick to feeding the pigeons in the park for excitement.

Boycitts go both ways. Menard’s is refusing to build a new store in Ohio as long as Obie rules and maybe if Bernie or HRC get elected. His outfit is invilved in multiple labor violations and he is throwing a hissy fit. (John Menard that is) If a store unionizes,the manager’s pay gets cut 60%. He seemed nice.
23It’s time for whatever empire John Menard has to collapse.
