British Nanny State Could Implement Website Ratings

Surely soon to be proposed by Queen Nancy

Websites could be given cinema-style age-ratings under plans by the Government to limit access to “unacceptable” material, Culture Secretary Andy Burnham warned.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mr Burnham said “clearer standards” were needed as to what could be displayed online.

He said it was his “absolutely categorical” view that there was material on the web – including beheadings – which should not be available to anyone.

So, ratings and censorship. Beheadings should be seen by everyone, so that they can understand the types of animals we are up against. They’ll probably want to censor 9/11 video, as well.

Oh, and the funniest part is that because it is a UK website, there are all types of racy ads and story links with accompanying pictures on the right side! :)

It gets better:

Describing the Internet as a ‘quite a dangerous place,’ Burnham told the Daily Telegraph he is planning to negotiate with President-elect Obama’s incoming administration to draw up new international rules for English language Web sites.

Wonderful. If they go by cursing, like with movies, the Left-o-sphere is in deep poo doo. The are 12 times more likely to use curse words then conservative sites.

What is your blogsite rating? See if Barry will censor you. Well, if you are a conservative, probably so regardless.

The major reason for the R rating is the word abortion, which appears 6 times on the main page at the time I ran the check. No curse words, though.

    This is one of those things that lefties might be able to convince the public is a good thing at first, but not for too long. Keeping young children from running into adults sites is a good thing, but it is the parents’ job, not Uncle Sam’s. I don’t want the Obamessiah deciding that images of 9/11 or other historical events are ‘unacceptable.’ Parents should do whatever it takes to keep their kids from going on sites that they don’t approve of. More importantly, I don’t want any ‘international rules’ deciding what ’should not be available to anyone.’ Beheadings are awful, but if everything violent posted by these monsters was instantly removed, people would never see their true colors. If the American people put up with this crap, than what good is the first amendment anyway?
