Monday Nibbles: China’s Porn Prosecutions, Prop 8 Pastor Molester, Sexual Resolutions

by Violet Blue on January 3, 2011

* In case you missed it, when Lady Gaga announced her next album Born This Way on New Year’s, she accompnaied it with this lovely TwitPic of her bare bottom.

* China is scaring us, having deleted 60K and 350+ million websites for porn in 2010 – and jailing people for it, even though we’re all pretty certain it’s not necessarily about porn. I emailed Viviane late last night working on this piece, and she supplied most of the links to help me figure out just what the Chinese government means by “porn.” Read China Censors 60K Websites, 350+ Million Pages, Proud Of It (zdnet.com, thank you Viviane)

* One of the more righteous Prop 8 figures – a pastor – who was a big backer of the anti-gay, anti-gay-marriage Prop 8 has been charged with multiple felony counts of sexual assault on a child. (joemygod.blogspot.com, via sfist)

* More controversy on Amazon allegedly removing erotic content from people’s Kindles – we’re not sure, but reports are coming in from authors complaining about more deleted content. Comment if you know anything; there a great one from Bacchus. (techyum.com)

* Over at About: Sexuality is a great post on making and following sexual New Year’s resolutions. (sexuality.about.com)

* Helpful, indeed; a post on dating tips for [straight] men over 50. (betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com)

Video: The Bride Whisperer, Interview Magazine, which I somehow missed when I posted the shoot. Gorgeous!
