No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

On a side:

When did ASCAP change their name, and why? Their site now says "Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection". Was the original group name too edgy or something?

PS: It's also weird that ASCAP promotes an internet filter review site from this pack of nutters: http://www.nationalcoalition.org Personally, if I was trying to filter my kid's access, I'd want to know if my recommendations were coming from right wing god fanatics who offer information to "affirm biblical truths on a range of moral and ethical issues". A lot of internet filtering services are seriously backwards, as they censor information about everything from breast cancer to birth control to coming out queer. (Yes, under 18s do need access to information about how to use condoms or what to do if they think they're gay.) I surely wouldn't trust religious fanatics to advise anyone as to how to censor their internet, and it's too bad that ASCAP is giving them linkage. Maybe they could do their own run-down of internet filtering services from a more secular viewpoint, including telling parents if a filter is faith-based and blocks homosexuality and reproductive health information.
