It infuriates me that a book about racism (like To Kill a Mockingbird) should be banned for using the word "nigger". What are the racist people in the book supposed to say? "African-Americans"? As in "Your father's no better than the African-Americans and trash he works for"? Or should that be "refuse"?

It's not listed here, but a Where's Waldo book was once banned because there was a topless woman sunbathing on the beach.

Reminds me of a huge kafuffle back home on PEI when a local artist started selling t-shirts he'd designed, featuring a painting of a red-haired girl running towards the shoreline, bikini top held aloft. Incredible uproar over that. PEI takes the cake for puritanical stupidity. To bring this back to books, for a long time there was a policy against having schools keep their own textbooks, to be passed on to new students from year to year--on the ground that it might spread germs. I kid you not. Germs.

American Publishers Can Publish Work from the Pentagram of Evil

But if they want to avoid jail, they better not even think about editing it. "The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control recently declared that American publishers cannot edit works authored in nations under trade embargoes, which include, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya and Cuba. Although publishing the articles is legal, editing is a, quote, service, and the Treasury Department says it's illegal to perform services for embargoed nations. It can be punishable by fines of up to half a million dollars or jail terms as long as ten years." When is someone going to freak out down there and lead the people in a revolt? (Thanks to JLG for the tip.)

This doesn't make any sense. You'd think the US government would want to be on the side of certain writers and public intellectuals from these countries, who tend to be instrumental in handy little things like revolutions and social change initiatives.

It's funny how the USA gets all upset about poor little countries that don't share their political values, but suddenly American political pride soars out the window when dealing with a marketplace super-power like China. Editing an article by a communist intelligence officer from China is okay, but editing an article by women's rights activist from Iran is punishable under the law.

Nice goin' Dubya. Your adminstration looks dumber everday. I imagine you'll be hearing from PEN about this, maybe Amnesty International, too.

Soon We'll Be Lucky to Have Freedom to Remember Freedom of Speech

Laws that will severely impinge civil liberties are always being passed in the name of security, ethics, and decency. But as of late, things seem particularly dire for "freedom of speech" here in the West. As is often the case, the first targets are creative works by fringe artists. Now, the dude in question here is a fringe of a fringe and only really an artist of self-denial, but the ripple effect is in motion and has serious implications for serious artists.

"Thus will it be illegal to create, distribute, transmit, access or possess wholly fictitious works of the imagination, such as fiction or painting, which represent characters in sexual situations who are or who seem to be under the age of 18, unless the "public good" is proved to be served. Note that we are not talking about representations of actual children, as one finds in video or photographs."

I wonder how this will effect Japanese cartoons like Sailor Moon?
More importantly, I wonder how this will effect work that is "about" child-abuse? It seems to me that such imprecise wording of the law could actually be used against a victim who, in some artistic way, recounts the horrors of his or her own experience, or any artist who wishes to draw attention to the plight of victims of child abuse. For a victim, the repression of this kind of expression is potentially as psychologically damaging as the abuse itself.

Didn't this happen about ten years ago in Canada? Wasn't there an artist who was charged with producing indecent art for a series of paintings about victimization? Such serious subject matter. Should artists in general be silent, even when advocating victims? I can see how the law could be used to prosecute them as well. I can hardly see, under this law, how it could be possible to discuss the issues at all, except in the most oblique manner.

The use of illicit drugs is also illegal? Is Trainspotting next? I wonder.

Poof! There goes Lolita....

Edited by author 02-28-2004 01:00 AM
Not just Lolita.
There goes half of Anais Nin's work.
There goes anything by Margueritte Duras.

But then, what's the average age of sexual active young women in the Bible? I don't think that slave girl that bore Abraham his first son was over the age 18. Bye-bye Bible!

How old is Ophelia in Hamlet? What's the line? Younger women than her are happy mothers made? How old is Juliet? What, 15, maybe? She sleeps with Romeo. Bye-bye Shakespeare.

Shit, there go my memoirs too...

Why 18, I wonder, when the age of consent is 14?

Ew!

Anais, I never said I was the older party...

Still, just "Ew!" Consent laws don't overlap with exploitation laws for a reason.

OK, I give: what reason? (Keeping in mind that there are provisions within consent laws intended to prevent exploitation, and keeping in mind that we're talking about fictional representations here, not actual teenagers engaged in actual sexual acts.)

Let me see, ZW. I just wonder what the "artistic" value is, or, in the terms of the new law, how it could possibly serve the public good. The consent law is the way it so a fifteen or sixteen year old boy won't go to jail for sexual contact with his fourteen or fifteen year old girlfriend, not so adult perverts can take advantage of young girls.

Even in Lolita, there are no actual graphic depictions of sexual acts, only references to them, sometimes suggestive, often oblique, and after the fact at that. But, as readers, we never get to watch. I think that's a significant distinction.

I think the word I'm searching is 'gratuitous'. I fail to see how graphic depictions (and by depiction I mean an image or verbal description in graphic detail) of minors having sex could be anything but gratuitous. What would be the point? To horrify? To titillate? Even veteran writers of horror, erotica, smut, whatever, know is more effective to leave something to the imagination. I can only see the purpose of graphic depictions of minors being used to satisfy perverted fantasies and the impulses of very sick people.

Have you ever Read Anais Nin's "Little Birds"? It's about a man who watches school girls out his window and is excited by their beauty. It only works as a story because he never gets his hands on them. I think Lolita only works because Nabakov only teases, in language, about what happens, but he never actually lets us watch.

In contrast, Henry Miller's Under the Roofs of Paris is no better, probably, except perhaps in the quality of its prose, than whatever that guy in BC was arrested for. Graphic depictions of minors having sex, and with adults no less, for the purpose of sexual titillation...I just can't see a legitimate reason for it. It's socially abhorrent, and I don't see why the law shouldn't be applied.

The Law (here with a capital L) is, in theory, a summery of what a society finds to be permissible and what it finds to be not permissible. In essence, it is the manifestation of a nation’s civic conscience. In practice, however, especially in countries where those who legislate also govern (i.e. most modern nations), the Law is also a manifestation of political consciousness as well as the civic conscience.

The problem, as I see it, with Canada’s age of consent statute is that there’s no tier system in place, there’s no staggering of permissible acts for certain age groups. With the exception of relationships of trust or dependency, the age of consent is 14. That’s it. In my opinion, there should be an addition caveat, as there is in many other societies, that age of consent is 14 so long as the older party is not more than X number of years older than the younger party; for the sake of argument and illustration, let’s say 4 or 5 years older, until such time as both individuals in question reach the legal age of majority.

I can understand Anais Ninja’s reaction to Zach’s question about the age of consent law in /m23, because the question has direct implications for the legal definition of child pornography in Canada. To alter this definition in such a way as to make it analogous with Canada’s age of consent would be, in both the civic and political senses, a legal disaster, and it would have far reaching international implications as well, given that the internet is the primary means of dissemination for such material.

I also believe that it’s important to protect freedom of speech and expression. That said, I don’t believe in the absolute right of anyone to express anything; some things will always be, and should always be, illegal. You may not joke about having a bomb while standing in line at the airport. You may not utter threats of death to a person. You may not share government secrets with another nation. The Law has always placed certain restrictions on freedom of speech, in accordance with social standards and/or for the public safety. These laws do not limit legitimate artistic expression, or legitimate dissent, so there’s no cause for alarm.

The bomb scares, death threats, and acts of treason are all very cut-and-dry examples, but when we wade into the waters of teenage sexuality and sexual development, we are wading into murky waters indeed. Without a doubt, between the ages of 12 and 18, people develop physically, sexually, and mentally at vastly differing rates. It would be impossible to arrive at a concrete definition of sexual maturity, and for this reason, any law applied to the subject of teenage sexuality will be, in large part, arbitrary. The age of consent statue makes this point as well. The development and function of these laws then becomes as mathematical game, a utilitarian application of averages, toward the ultimate end of harm reduction for the most possible citizens.

Making distinctions between real and imagined persons in laws pertaining to the depiction of sexual acts between minors is an abyss of legal nightmares, not the least which is the creation of potential loopholes in existing laws designed to safeguard against the exploitation of minors. Certainly the law can err, as a human invention it is naturally fallible, but in terms of what a society finds permissible, the civic conscience, where the law is designed to protect the weakest and most vulnerable citizens, I believe it is necessary to err on the side of caution. Given that lawyers, judges, and juries will interpret the law on a case-to-case basis, I believe there is little to fear in terms of the repression of legitimate artistic expression. While the creators of highly controversial works may expect to answer difficult questions, they are no doubt aware of the risk.

AN, re /m28

"I just wonder what the "artistic" value is, or, in the terms of the new law, how it could possibly serve the public good. The consent law is the way it so a fifteen or sixteen year old boy won't go to jail for sexual contact with his fourteen or fifteen year old girlfriend, not so adult perverts can take advantage of young girls."

Musings about 'artistic' value and 'public good' are shaky at best as grounds for banning something. I happen to agree with you, about sex scenes in general, be they in books or movies or porn mags; i.e. that 49/50 times, it's pure catchpenny sensationalism, no matter who the participants and what their age. However, to extend this objection to a legal ban is, um, reactionary. Plain and simple. A very fucking (pardon the pun) slippery slope. I don't want to see it, but I'll defend to the end the rights of someone else to write it.

Yeah, Nabokov conveys the relationship between HH and Lolita thru indirection, for the most part, but he is none too subtle about it; there's never any doubt about what's going on there, and I think a zealous 'right-thinking' individual, equipped with a law like the one we're discussing, could easily stretch it to cover a book like Lolita. Or sections of the Bible. Or great chunks of Greek lit (how old was that donkey in the Golden Ass, anyway?). Is teen sex o.k. if it's sufficiently shrouded in metaphor? Careful what you wish for, AN: you might just get it.

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or on Peter's essay. Just in response to Anais Ninja's

"I fail to see how graphic depictions (and by depiction I mean an image or verbal description in graphic detail) of minors having sex could be anything but gratuitous. What would be the point? To horrify? To titillate? Even veteran writers of horror, erotica, smut, whatever, know is more effective to leave something to the imagination. I can only see the purpose of graphic depictions of minors being used to satisfy perverted fantasies and the impulses of very sick people."

What about teenagers wanting to read sex scenes involving people their age? What's wrong with that? I'm sure most of us were on the hunt for good sex scenes when we were that age. I know that a lot of us thumbed through Valley of the Horses, where a girl gets deflowered by the older professional deflowerer guy (one more for your list, Peter?). Were we perverted and very sick? Teenagers are sexual beings and they have the right to see that reality reflected in books.

"It was not even the first story that had somebody slicing off someone's nipples."
A student at a San Francisco school is expelled for writing a violent, sadistic story about a serial killer. Then the teacher is fired. And then Homicide is called in.

The censorship situation we reported on earlier at the SF Academy of Art University got a little worse when Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) was denied access to a forum on the subject and booted off campus.
"The forum, set up by Kaufman, was to have included Richman and David Greene of the First Amendment Project. Handler says he'd told academy Senior Vice President Sally Huntting by phone that he wanted to discuss the subject instead of turning the dispute nasty, and was hoping to participate. But when Handler showed up on Tuesday morning, security guards told him he was not authorized to attend."

"The Bill of Rights can be read as a classic expression of the teenage spirit: a powerful imagination reacting to a history of overwhelming institutional repression, hypocrisy, chicanery and weakness."

Michael Chabon writes that kids who write violence* are being harassed in the US. "the threat posed by these prosecutions to civil liberties, to the First Amendment rights of our young people, is grave enough. But as a writer, a parent and a former teenager, I see the workings of something more iniquitous: not merely the denial of teenagers' rights in the name of their own protection, but the denial of their humanity in the name of preserving their innocence."

Oh great, so now the "crown jewel" of the free world is little more than a dictatorial police state where children are grilled by secret police for "doodle" crimes. Tune in next week when G.W. Bush solidifies his plans to make the USA a Christian Fundamentalist Theocracy. When that happens, I'm moving to another planet.

That's right....Bush is a Nazi. Gimme a break. Let us not forget that Saddam was the tyrant in all this. However, the far-left probably would have given Hitler some more time to tinker if it meant not reacting to a situation that could result in some harm as well as good. Your Bush-Nazi barb is an example of why "political commentary" in this day and age is a farce. Please, stick to books.
Oh, and by the way, the left side ain't better. Kerry's notion of separating his religion from his public position is laughable. A Catholic endorsing a pro-abortion rally is a real lie-in-action.

Blah blah blah. How much does it cost to buy in these days? You want bland book news, go read the Quill and Quire. You want fair and balanced political commentary, go watch Fox News. Otherwise, welcome.

The division of politics into a "left side" and a "right side" and the belief that the Democrats and Republicans actually represent those sides is the chief reason for the slide of "political commentary" (which is little more than a reflection of political reality) into a squabble that 12 year-olds would be ashamed to take part in. But let us not forget that Saddam was the tyrant in all this...

Isn't a tyrant defined as one who gets into power illegally?

Hmm…

Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo! Orange Alert! Orange Alert! Guards! Guards!

however horrible Saddam was to his own people he posed no threat to his neighbours or the US.

Dictators are bad, maybe even evil if elimination of them is fair game then where do we start? Do we start with North Korea where the government has openly stated that it has nuclear weapons and is not shy about using them?

"A catholic supporting a pro abortion rally is a real lie-in-action" ???

Group membership, does not always lead to group homogeneity.

Not to mention the fact that there's no such stance as "pro abortion," at least none that I've ever heard of. What do they do at a "pro abortion" rally? Go around with signs saying "Death to the Foetus"; "Get Our Unborn Before They Get You"; "Foeti Are the Root of All Evil"?

I Can't Believe You Don't Support a War About Freedom -- You're Expelled!
Somebody please tell me this is another fake news story. It just seems too ludicrous to be real.


In March 2003, a teenage girl named Courtney presented one of her poems before an audience at Barnes & Noble bookstore in Albuquerque, then read the poem live on the school's closed-circuit television channel.

A school military liaison and the high school principal accused the girl of being "un-American" because she criticized the war in Iraq and the Bush administration's failure to give substance to its "No child left behind" education policy.

The girl's mother, also a teacher, was ordered by the principal to destroy the child's poetry. The mother refused and may lose her job.

Bill Nevins was suspended for not censoring the poetry of his students. Remember, there is no obscenity to be found in any of the poetry. He was later fired by the principal.

Patriot Act vs. Free Speech

A Muslim computer nerd who helped run sites purported to support terrorism is being charged under a nebulous section of the Patriot Act regarding "secondary" terrorists.

The Saudi-born Ph.D. candidate set up and ran Web sites that prosecutors say were used to recruit terrorists, raise money and disseminate inflammatory rhetoric.

His supporters say the government is using vague anti-terrorism laws to prosecute Al-Hussayen for his beliefs.

"To the extent that someone provides guns or money to a group for terrorism, that should be punished," said Kevin Bankston, an attorney for the civil liberties group Electronic Frontier Foundation. "But you can't outlaw advocacy for any group or position, and that seems to be what they are attempting to do."

Remember, a Vote for the Liberals, NDP, Bloc and Anyone Else But the Conservatives Is a Vote for "Artistic Merit" and the "Public Good," I Mean, Child Porn
In the wake of all the election child-porn accusations, the Globe and Mail revisits the Eli Langer case.


What I remember most about that show was a painting dominated by a red-velvet curtain, behind which a diminutive person is trying to hide. The curtain hangs from the ceiling, but is too short to reach the floor or to conceal the skinny little legs shod in a pair of children's black-patent-leather shoes with a strap across the instep. This is a painting depicting a terrified little girl being stalked by a predator, a predator who we sense, as we look on helplessly in horror, is about to pull aside that curtain and grab her. It arouses fear, not rapacious sexual appetites.

"That series was my toughest work," Langer says. Since then, he has moved "into more subtle ways to represent danger, violation and vulnerability." While he doesn't recommend being arrested as a fun activity, he insists the experience didn't muffle his creativity, although it "definitely taught me a different way of understanding language and the implications of language," he says. "It was a learning experience but it didn't chill me.

Welcome to America, the Year 1984

What a shame. What a crying shame that country is becoming. And now it's making the leap from bully to tyrant.

The Republican-led House bowed to a White House veto threat Thursday and stood by the USA Patriot Act, defeating an effort to block the part of the anti-terrorism law that helps the government investigate people's reading habits.

The effort to defy Bush and bridle the law's powers lost by 210-210, with a majority needed to prevail. The amendment appeared on its way to victory as the roll call's normal 15-minute time limit expired, but Republican leaders kept the vote open for about 20 more minutes as they persuaded about 10 Republicans who initially supported the provision to change their votes.

Note: trawling conservative scumbags looking to pick a fight can save their hate mail. It will go unopened. Your country is falling to pieces - you and your willful ignorance are the reason.

Hey, remember when we were all young and the cold war was raging... coldly? Remember how the Kremlin would make those hilarious excuses for their evil mysteries and obvious failings? "The former Under-Secretary of the Party is 'not well,' and has been placed in a 'hospital,' etc."

The hilarious part was that these tyrants actually thought an outrageous lie would somehow convince the population they were not living in tyranny.

And, so:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/09/politics...aign/09records.html

For the last time, "artistic merit" doesn't mean we want to see children peforming unspeakable sex acts... adults, yes, children, no.
A big issue in the recent Canadian election was the proposed reworking of the country's child-porn laws. The debate went something like this: "If you're not against a complete ban of all representations of youth in sexual situations, or hey, even non-sexual situations that some reader/viewer could perceive to be sexual, well, then you must support child porn!"


Unfortunately, in both Canada and the U.S., this has been the position taken by many media types as well, who have written angry editorials about judges defending child pornography by refusing to strike down "artistic merit" laws, etc., without looking critically at the issues. Thankfully, the comics media has understood what's really at stake -- freedom of expression.


Their latest cause has been fighting the Child Online Protection Act, which was intended to protect children from viewing online porn by limiting people's ability to post material online that may cause our children to go astray.


Retailers, publishers, and comic art dealers would have faced potential chill on what kind of work they could show on their sites. Could someone selling an original R. Crumb, Reed Waller, or Milo Manara page depicting sex show that page on their website? Would Last Gasp, which presently requires all browsers to state that they're 18 to enter, need to get a credit card from anyone entering their site or risk prosecution? Could Bud Plant face prosecution because he shows samples and covers of adult products on his website?

The answer is that all of the above examples would be vulnerable to the lines drawn by COPA, and we feel that's unconstitutional. The businesses mentioned above are responsible businesses, and shouldn't have their rights to responsibly sell protected speech chilled by this law. Likewise, creators shouldn't need to worry that they could lose their livelihood and freedom if they post a story speaking to adult themes in a responsible fashion.

American civil liberties: finally free for all

You know, like Pepsi Free?*

Congress recently voted against repealing a portion of the USA Patriot Act that allows the government to monitor Americans' reading habits. What clinched the vote was information provided by the Justice Department that a suspected terrorist had used e-mail services at a public library.

As terrifying as this idea might be, what's even more terrifying to former Watergate counsel Samuel Dash are the incursions already made on Americans' rights. Indeed, the Patriot Act allows the government to tap phones and search homes without probable cause. Government agents may also sneak into homes of Americans and seize evidence without telling the residents until the search is over.

And guess what, folks: that's not all. Rambling idiot and quite-likely-psycho, Daniel Rakowitz, had titles from his book collection brought into court as evidence of his likelihood to commit harm if released from prison.

Then the prosecutor cited a list of the books in Rakowitz's library as yet more proof that he was a dangerous maniac, crazy as a loon, a man "fascinated with evil" who would surely be dismembering someone else within half an hour of being released.

Undoubtedly, this one IS a nut, but surely this sets an ugly precedent? (Yeah, New York Press is a rag, but it's a scary article, nonetheless.) (From Maud)

Code/nut breakers

The meatheads guarding these guys are not...

Serious new allegations about the ill-treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have been revealed in a series of letters from a British detainee, who has accused US guards of threatening him with sexual assault and physical violence, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.

The letters from Martin Mubanga, one of the last remaining British detainees in Guantanamo Bay, were carefully written to escape the military censors, using a unique mixture of London street slang, Cockney, Jamaican patois and rap lyrics.

A sample goes: "The bully boy loves to be the bully boy, chats enough crap and giving it large. Expecting man n' man to bend over so as them there can give to man n' man real good. Boy must be thinking man n' man is some kind of rent boy." Not that I'm anything but glad these kinds of allegations are being made public, but, man, that reads more like a bad A Clockwork Orange rip off than a viable code. Who's doing the censoring here, an 80 year-old hermit?

American publishers get the pitchforks and torches out

Well, the legal forks and torches*... Bravo, regardless.

The regulations, meant to keep Americans from trading with enemies, require anyone who publishes material from a country under trade sanctions to obtain a license before substantively altering the manuscript. The publishers say that keeps them from performing typical editing functions like reordering sentences and paragraphs, correcting grammar and adding illustrations or photographs.

The regulations do not forbid publication of existing works from those countries. They allow publishers to print and distribute materials that come to them in camera-ready form, that is, ready to be published without alteration. But they also restrict marketing materials, which the publishers say essentially prohibits publication.

The publishers argue that the regulations do not allow enough room for them to prepare material from foreign authors for the United States market and create a "chilling effect" on them. "For all practical purposes," the suit states, "that means American publishers simply cannot publish their books."

I was just lamenting with some Random House people yesterday that we Canadians, as a literary culture, don't riot nearly often enough. Where are the lawsuits against Head and her plan to slowly kill the book? In my dreams... (Mind you, now that she's killed off the competition, it would be like suing your own heart. When the publishers have only one customer there just ain't much you can do.)

In its annual review of state schools and libraries, the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas this week identifies 62 titles that were removed from school libraries during the 2003-04 school year following objections from parents or teachers. Restrictions were placed on an additional 33 books, including George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, following objections from the parent of a ninth grade student.

A bomb in every copy: Tong Ting gets a lesson in paranoia Patriotism

A children's author finds herself in the middle of a terrorism investigation.

Her 3,000 copies of "Tong Ting Finds a Family" were confiscated by the U.S. Customs Department in July because she unknowingly used a Chinese shipper that the Bush administration has barred from doing business in the United States. According to a spokeswoman from the U.S. Treasury Department, the company's parent company is suspected of having shipped missile parts to Iraq to be used in the delivery of weapons of mass destruction.

I'm pretty sure that this just means the book never existed in the first place...

The Patriot Act

What does it mean for American writers?

In a nutshell, the act gives federal law enforcement agencies (for example, the FBI, Justice Department, U.S. Attorneys) and foreign intelligence surveillance agencies (the CIA, NSA, Pentagon, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS, formerly known as Immigration and Naturalization Service or INS], Secret Service) more tools and greater leeway to spy on citizens (and legal aliens) in national security and criminal investigations. It does so in the following ways (among others):

• Makes it much easier for domestic law enforcement to use tools like roving wiretaps and phone taps
• Lowers the standard needed to convince a court to issue search warrants and subpoenas (probable cause to believe a crime is being committed or planned is no longer needed)
• Greatly expands the scope of third- party records subject to subpoena
• Permits domestic and foreign intelligence agencies to share information gathered about citizens more easily
• Allows individual district courts to issue nationwide search warrants and wiretap orders
• Permits agencies to spy—even to exercise a search warrant without notifying the person being searched
• Expands the type of information subject to surveillance to include e-mail and other online activity
• Forbids citizens subject to surveillance to challenge it in court except after the fact if they are charged with a crime

I've always been amazed at how the simple use of the word "patriot" makes everyone think twice about criticising it. You guys really have to excise that word from your vocabulary. Or at least return it to a station of power and respect by not abusing it so often. (P.S. What I'd like to see around here is an article outlining what the loss of American civil liberties means for us -- the little brother who's always getting the hand-me-downs. As "the land of the free" becomes "the land of the deluded", what happens to us?)

My question is, who was the bottom?
The Chronicle reports on the rise of censorship in Russia, and a worrisome situation it is. Protesters tearing up books about homosexuality? Good thing that doesn't happen here. They need to adopt some good ol' American values!


The last few years in Russia offer multiple examples of literary censorship on the rise after the "anything goes" spirit of the Yeltsin era. A Russian youth organization allied with Putin, Walking Together, has begun propaganda campaigns against freewheeling and critically acclaimed post-perestroika writers like Victor Pelevin (A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia and Other Stories) and Vladimir Sorokin (Blue Lard). In the case of the postmodern Sorokin, Walking Together protesters publicly tore up copies of Blue Lard (which imagines a homosexual relationship between clones of Stalin and Khrushchev) in downtown Moscow and tossed the remains down a mock toilet bowl. The Moscow prosecutor's office subsequently brought charges against Sorokin of pornography, later dropped, under Article 242 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code.

Just throw the settlement debt on the pile...

Last year's Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner is suing the US over sanctions that prohibit her from publishing her memoirs in "the Homeland" of Bubba and Berndine Jones.

The Treasury Department declined to comment on Ms. Ebadi's suit, but spokeswoman Molly Millerwise defended the regulations as "part of the different strategies that make up our national-security policies." The U.S. has 29 sanctions programs in place against various countries, terrorist groups and others considered national-security threats, although the restrictions challenged by Ms. Ebadi apply only to Cuba, Iran and Sudan. Ironically, the way the Treasury Department interprets the trade embargo, Ms. Ebadi would have been free to publish a translation of her book in the U.S. had it originally been issued in Iran. The regulations allow publishers to "reproduce, translate, style and copy-edit" existing works from sanctioned countries, according to a department fact sheet. But they prohibit providing "services" to people or entities in embargoed countries, such as the type of editorial, marketing and translation work needed to publish an original book in the U.S. In a March letter to the Treasury Department, Rep. Howard Berman, the California Democrat who wrote legislation excepting information from the embargo, called the policy "patently absurd."

Don't you know that if we let her publish, her books might explode and unleash nukular catsforfree on one nation under god?

Into the jaws of the beast I go

Wubblewoo has enabled this and it will be interesting to watch him ignore it as best he can. Rise up, people.

An Alabama lawmaker who sought to ban gay marriages now wants to ban novels with gay characters from public libraries, including university libraries.

A bill by Rep. Gerald Allen, R-Cottondale, would prohibit the use of public funds for "the purchase of textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle." Allen said he filed the bill to protect children from the "homosexual agenda."

"Our culture, how we know it today, is under attack from every angle," Allen said in a press conference Tuesday.

Allen said that if his bill passes, novels with gay protagonists and college textbooks that suggest homosexuality is natural would have to be removed from library shelves and destroyed.

"I guess we dig a big hole and dump them in and bury them," he said.

I guess the positive here is that the more empowered these nutbars become, the more they run the risk of showing their true selves and ending up like Allan Keyes. (I really want to make a-yhuk noises about the inbred slackjaws of the south, but Maud and Michael Schaub have shamed me into silence.)

More on the Alabama monster leading the charge to "protect marriage" by outlawing homosexual propaganda texts such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Colour Purple and even Shakespeare. So I guess Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain" about cowboy lovers is probably out too, huh?

Cutting off funds to theatre departments that put on A Chorus Line or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof may look like censorship, and smell like censorship, but "it's not censorship", Allen hastens to explain. "For instance, there's a reason for stop lights. You're driving a vehicle, you see that stop light, and I hope you stop." Who can argue with something as reasonable as stop lights? Of course, if you're gay, this particular traffic light never changes to green.

Unless, perhaps, if you live in Canada.

Holy Shit! Peaceful protest works!

The US backs down from its embargo against foreign authors.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Patriot Act
What exactly does "censorship" mean today?

The definition of censorship has loosened so much that the word has become nearly devoid of meaning. Long gone are the days when the government banned racy books like D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer or James Joyce's Ulysses. When it comes to the written word, censorship debates are no longer about taste and decency -- although those issues are much in the news concerning the visual arts, television and radio. Instead, the debate over books tends to center on geopolitics, national security and foreign policy.

Home

The purpose of censorship is to "prevent" more than to "ban". Banning is merely a tool. Modern apologists for censorship - and for dissent-prevention tools like the Patriot Act - love to demand concrete examples of how you have been hurt, how you have been punished for the spoken word or written prose.

This angle misses the point. The measure of censorship impact is not how many books have been banned, how many reporters have been canned, how many authors have been blacklisted, or how many artists have been arrested. The true measure is in how many books never got written, how many reports are watered down, how many authors slink into the pablum of historical fiction or pander by delving in non-controversial subject matter.... and most importantly, how many mainstream individuals are isolated from exposure to thought provoking points of view.

In achieving the desired result of censorship, banning is a heavy handed last resort. Banning is a message being sent. It hardly matters whether banning is the product of government edict, corporate activitsts, conservative community groups, or even the response of market forces. The silencing of dissent is the result. And that is the point.

The tragedy of Stalinist censorship was not in the harm perpetrated on dissentors. This was merely a visible symptom of the true illness...the silencing of other voices, the absence of broader dissent, the marginalization of independent thought, the intellectual isolation of the masses.

In 2004, the impact of the Patriot Act, of subtle White House threats, of activist smear campaigns, of challenges to patriotist, of careesr held in the balance, all resonate loudly and widely and instantaneously across a tautly strung web of technology and media.

The "magic" of censorship in 2004 is how it has been accomplished without bonfires to burn books and gulags on which to exile writers.

Make no mistake about the effectiveness of modern censorship. Do not demand photos of inkstained clouds of black smoke or blood smears drawn upon stairscases and concrete sidewalks as the evidence. The lack of physical evidence merely testifies to the insipid effectiveness of the modern program.

We don't need no education
Salon discusses the battle over anti-evolution textbooks in a U.S. school district. Guess who won.

DOVER, Pa. -- It was an ordinary springtime school board meeting in the bedroom community of Dover, Pa. The high school needed new biology textbooks, and the science department had recommended Kenneth Miller and Joseph Levine's "Biology." "It was a fantastic text," said Carol "Casey" Brown, 57, a self-described Goldwater Republican and the board's senior member. "It just followed our curriculum so beautifully."

But Bill Buckingham, a new board member who'd recently become chair of the curriculum committee, had an objection. "Biology," he said, was "laced with Darwinism." He wanted a book that balanced theories of evolution with Christian creationism, and he was willing to turn his town into a cultural battlefield to get it.

The article also links to the National Center for Science Education, a handy site detailing the struggle to keep the Taliban out of the classrooms.

For most of Glad Day's more than 30 years in business, they have been fighting either Canada Customs, the police or the OFRB for the right to freely import and sell gay and lesbian books and videos; the fights, like most fights for freedom of expression in this secular but sexually ambivalent society, were fought about porn. The Criminal Code states, for instance, that it is illegal to possess or purvey "any publication a dominant characteristic of which is the undue exploitation of sex." It goes on to single out standard characteristics of S/M material for specific scorn. But, says Kuwabara, the tiny store was finally no match for the essentially unlimited resources of the government.

Parents invited by principal to burn banned books from school library

Yep. Ah-yhuk!

Recently a book that was being used as part of an English assignment was confiscated from freshmen at Norwood High School due to references of paganism and an alleged magnitude of profanity.
Here in Norwood, a small group of parents sent letters to Superintendent Bob Conder, expressing their concern over, Bless Me, Ultima, a book being used in the classroom as a literature book. Conder said the books, about 2 dozen in total costing $6.99 each, were pulled from the classroom, and designated to be destroyed. The parents approached the superintendent and asked that they be able to burn the books instead of the school janitor destroying them.

Conder granted them their request, as he has the right to dispose of them. Conder informed the School Board in a letter after the fact. He further stated, “I can’t dictate morality, but my job is to protect the kids. The books should have never been purchased, and were not properly disclosed for approval.”

You pick on my Little Sister, you pick on me.

In a decision released Friday, Justice Allan Thackray of the B.C. Court of Appeal reversed a July 2004 ruling that would have given Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium an unspecified sum to wage its book battle against the government agency. Little Sisters argued it couldn't afford another court fight with Customs, which has seized several books at the United States border since 1985.

I regularly get (non-pornographic) books sent to me from the US, and I can attest to the overzealousness of customs. Book packages from anywhere other than Amazon arrive at my house opened (only sometimes resealed) and quite often leafed through, bent, or otherwise molested. Note to bored customs dudes: once you've seen there are no drugs or bomb parts in it, WTF? Get your own books. (Aren't you reading Dean Koontz anyway?)

On the other hand, crossing the border quite consistently, as I have been the last five years, I know Canada customs officers to be a few latex gloves short of invasive, at least compared to their American counterparts.

But, regardless, Deva is right: these frontline workers should have no authority to make snap judgments on reading materials at the border -- not without more definite guidelines and some fucking sensitivity training (preferably involving ropes and meatmen.)

Little Sisters' current challenge is actually the second time the bookstore has targeted Customs. The first case concluded in 2000, when the Supreme Court flayed Customs for following arbitrary and inconsistent seizure policies. However, instead of striking down the agency's power to seize and censor, the court ordered Customs to clean up its act.

Mr. Arvay said that since then, Customs has done "almost nothing" to address the shortcomings cited by the Supreme Court, and more than 5,000 titles of "expressive material" are seized each year.

"If we know what artists are going to do, they can achieve little or nothing."

Is art being killed because the internet is faster?

The only way to achieve "decency" without "censorship" is if artists make their own choices. Tell them what to do -- or, worse yet, tell them what they are going to do before they do it -- and you have censorship, pure and simple. It may well be desirable censorship from some people's point of view, but politicians such as Stevens should at least call it by its proper name.

Free, empowered artists make their own agendas. And in so doing, they don't necessarily undermine the cultural fabric of society.

"If we know what artists are going to do, they can achieve little or nothing."

That entire article reminds of a great Gravity's Rainbow line --

"Once the technical means of control have reached a certain size, a certain degree of being connected to one another, the chances for freedom are over for good."

Censorship has made the career of many a mediocre artist. You can fight with it, but just hope it doesn’t go away…you may need it one day. Besides, when just about everybody sees himself or herself as an artist in one capacity or another, I think art should not only be censored but discontinued indefinitely for its own preservation. Where artists are concerned, a serious cull of the herd is long overdue. This may go along way in resolving the censorship issue also. There is a censorship issue, right?

Here's how the banning of ideas works

School boards that buy text books in large blocks control the content of those books, as evidenced by the conservative school boards in Texas. This means things like abstinence-only sex ed books...

Texas is one of 21 states that use a statewide textbook adoption process, thereby wielding the power to rewrite textbooks to meet their priorities. “When you create a new edition,” says Steve Driesler, president of the American Association of Publishers’ Schools Division, “you’re talking about tens of millions of dollars of investment, and obviously the publisher wants to recoup that as soon as possible.” Driesler notes that a big state adoption enables a publisher to recoup its investment within a year. So most publishers hold off on writing new editions until that particular subject comes up on the adoption calendar of the largest state-adoption states.

California’s market size outstrips that of Texas, yet Texas has become far more powerful. Most state-adoption states are in the South, a result of banding together after the Civil War to pressure educational publishers to supply them with pro-Confederate history textbooks. Officials in these states treat Texas as the lead steer, often adopting and purchasing the same textbooks that have been adopted and purchased in Texas. Also, California adopts locally at the high school level, leaving Texas as the only big player in that market.

Guess what's next? Evolution disappears from science texts. (From BoingBoing)

The American government: keeping on truckin

The emboldened right in America is scary, sure, but what's more scary to me is the numbed left. The shock and awe of the last five years has left them catatonic, it seems, so things like this seem insignificant by comparison and pass without the howling shitstorm of controversy that should be stirred up.

What if Congress resurrected one of the most ill-conceived laws of the McCarthy era and nobody noticed? In 1952, the House and Senate passed the McCarran-Walter Act, which created an ideological litmus test for entry to the United States by barring foreigners with disfavored ideas or affiliations. The law denied admission to communists and anarchists, among others. For four decades, it was invoked to keep out hundreds of people, including writers (Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez), scholars (Belgian economist Ernst Mandel), politicians (Ireland's Gerry Adams, Nicaragua's Tomas Borge), and even a former NATO general (Italy's Nino Pasti). Congress repealed the McCarran-Walter Act in 1990 with great fanfare about eliminating thought-control at the border.

But an attachment to a bill that supplements funds for Iraq, passed by Congress and now on the president's desk, would allow the United States once again to keep out and to deport foreign nationals not for their conduct, but for their politics—their ideas, their speech, and the groups with which they associate.

Why is it that more and more, as these stories come up in the USA, does the word "Christian" become increasingly synonymous with "Uptight, ignorant douchebag"?

Edited by author 06-02-2005 03:56 PM
I think judging from the number of censorships in local schools that I've been reading about, that this is probably pretty reliable. It's happening most definitely and most unfortunately. It is a pity that the word 'Christian' has taken on less than flattering connotations, though, I wouldn't have put it quite so, uhm, elegantly. To me, this article, and its story are synonymous with the sort of zealotry happening in almost every religion around the world these days. So, it isn't Christianity, per se, that freaks me out but the way that religion in general is being held up as the moral right. Whatever happened to the rational mind? I also find it worrisome that we as a society seem to condone violence while having a simultaneous fear of our bodies. Movies are rated R not for explicit violence generally but for explicit sexuality. I find this very disturbing. K

I think book banning is working quite well. Hardly any teens are having sex anymore, right?

I come before you to stand behind you

Where do you stand on civil liberty? Is it a joke to even think one has privacy?

New polls show that a clear majority supports the Patriot Act. Meanwhile, the number of Americans staying up nights worrying about their vulnerable library records does not appear to be spiraling out of control. The public is willing to sacrifice some privacy to beat terrorism. If you disagree and expect to be taken seriously as a privacy champion, go after the IRS. To prove you are on the level, attack the hard targets, not the easy ones. And let the FBI get back to business.

Faulkner censored

Bully

Too bad they didn't have a community builders program in place when Bush went to school. It appears that Washington is trying to suppress a book about Osama bin Laden's escape from Tora Bora. I've read various accounts of what happened, the most hilarious and therefore plausible is the one in which US 'intelligence' is tracking bin Laden on a cell phone, even though he has handed it to a right hand man and walked out of Tora Bora. Here's the Guardian's 2002 account, though this one is good too. Refugee Afghan women and children have documented the Tora Bora escapade in hundreds of garish/beautiful war rugs, an article about which I wrote and you can read here.

Kirkus reviews of censored and challenged books

The Book Standard has compiled reviews before the fact of the books America loves to hate. Books they'd hate if they could read well enough to have read them. Books they've heard might influence young minds and make them consider things like equality, normal sexual behaviour and joy. I see no cookbooks on this list. Where are all the banned cookbooks? Where are the banned exercise books? Where are the banned pop psychology books?

For me it was Salem's Lot ... I still can't sleep

Okay, I'm late for banned books week, but I was sick last week -- kind of a banned-from-society thing. So here is an interesting piece on authors revealing their early experiences with books they probably shouldn't have been experiencing so early. (Much like George Saunders' experience, my moment ended poorly, and humiliatingly, when my dumb-assed family thought it would be a good idea to creep outside and knock on my window in the pitch black...)

Pamuk backpedals

Orhan Pamuk is in hot water for using his words. He should move to Canada; we use our words here.

Pamuk could face up to three years in prison for reportedly telling a Swiss newspaper that "30,000 Kurds and 1 million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it". But on Saturday night, he went on CNN-Turk television to say: "I did not say, we Turks killed this many Armenians. I did not use the word 'genocide'."

Genocide. Genocide. Genocide. See? Nothing happens.

Moms in Frago are up in arms about a book they want to have removed from the curriculum. No, it isn't a depiction of same-sex marriage. No, it isn't swearing. It's just that it's kinda bloody and rather badly written. How the heck a Grisham book got on a literature course is beyond me.

You're either with us or against us
Philip Pullman, Monica Ali, Philip Hensher and Salman Rushdie discuss proposed legislation "to curb religious hatred" and its possible threat to free speech.

The Enlightenment, in Europe, represented an escape from the power of religion to place limiting points on thought; in America, it represented an escape into the religious freedom of the New World - a move towards faith rather than away from it. Many Europeans now view the American combination of religion and nationalism as frightening.

Home

I find it ironic that Phillip Pullman talks of free speech while trying to discredit and curb the writings of his superiors such as C.S. Lewis. The hatred comes from those who wish to "curb religious hatred," not from those practicing religion.

Göknar on Pamuk

Pamuk's trial for allegedly blaspheming Turkishness is set for Friday. His English translator considers the outcome of the trial to be a 'harbinger for relations between the West and Muslim nations.' This worries me. It seems to me this is only so if the outcome is negative for Pamuk. A positive verdict will ostracize Turkey from certain other Muslim nations and potentially fuel the fire, no?

“Responses from within the E.U. during the trial will be symbolic, too,” Göknar said. “Politicians in E.U. countries could let Turkey work out its political freedoms or they could try to stir up resentment against Turkish immigrants in their countries and fuel  jingoism.”

Pamuk's got a roster of elite literary superstars behind him now, too. I hope this helps because things sure look ugly.

Home

So, Turkey wants to cover up their historical atrocities by limiting the free speech of its citizens. How medieval. How totalitarian.

Dear Turkey,

Please remove your 12th century head from your 12th century ass.

Pamuk on Pamuk

In a comment piece in the New Yorker, Pamuk lands right where you'd expect a novelist to land – right in the space between one and the other, simply observing.

As tomorrow’s novelists prepare to narrate the private lives of the new élites, they are no doubt expecting the West to criticize the limits that their states place on freedom of expression. But these days the lies about the war in Iraq and the reports of secret C.I.A. prisons have so damaged the West’s credibility in Turkey and in other nations that it is more and more difficult for people like me to make the case for true Western democracy in my part of the world.

If people are over-dramatising his case, which, after Goknar's views earlier might lead one to believe, it is not for want of compassion. It may be that it looks like an East-West symbolic trial, even though the defendent sees himself neither here nor there; it's a schoolyard dictum 'two wrongs don't make a right,' isn't it? Maybe, there isn't anything to do but stand by and witness. Now I'm going to curl up in bed and weep all day.

Comedy Central

Maybe, in general, we have to see America ironically. In fact, maybe we should refer to America as "America". A high school student is not allowed to return to his school because he, wait for it, made fun of some of the teachers. I ask, perhaps naively, isn't this the entire point of high school? It certainly was for me.

"Carroll (The Book)," a 14-page publication, was modeled after comedian Jon Stewart's book "America (The Book)." The boy's version includes diagrams, profanity, photos and a picture of school Principal Deb Neumeyer on the cover.

I can just see the administration spluttering, 'Insubordination. This boy needs reprimanding. This could lead to terrorist activities later in life or worse. He could put an eye out.'

I really wish that all Turks would take the time to educate themselves on Turkish history. This would allow them to want to make a change to their religious beliefs and consider converting back to the Christian faith as Turkey was originally. I have been to that country a few times, its amazing and breath taking. Great people, who do not need to fall into the Muslim world as to which they all have been doing. I always hoped one day that an individual from a different religion became part of the government. Maybe one day! I'm proud to have a Turkish background but I'm also glad I choose the Christian faith. God Bless

Alert for all travellers to North America: Abuse of Human Rights and Privacy Violations:

Racially intolerant white canadian cops and security and their henchmen claim to be despots; following parasitically in the footsteps of their american counterparts, and wilfully engage in their racial profiling of non-whites, in racial harassment of non-whites, and in racially dehumanizing attempts to racially harass non-whites through intimidating physically, mentally, and spiritually; portraying their racial hatred of non-whites through causing wilfull and dehumanizing disturbance to non-whites through using illegal wall-see-through technologies and audio-bugs on non-whites' homes; through listening and watching through the walls of non-whites' rented and owned homes, and through their internet and private telephones. The perpetuators of these evil deeds do this from their cars using illegal equipment slyly given to them by the unworthy cops, and then
accelerating their cars loudly and intimidatingly near non-whites' homes and driving intimidatingly in presence of non-whites on streets, making threatening u-turns, driving intimidatingly right up and over sidewalks when a non-white is on the sidewalk, and throwing their ugly bullying weight around, in their shameless acts of cowardice. It is all done slyly, supposedly smartly, however, they cannot fool all the people all the time. The cops also participate themselves to wail their sirens abusively everytime non-whites move and talk inside their rented and owned homes in daily routine living, in addition to having their henchmen, and often, using their non-white gutless henchmen in cars, transport, shopping centers, neighborhoods, etc, to commit these ugly harassing racially profiling
deeds at all times day and night. Using non-whites to engage in racial harassment of other non-whites is an obnoxiously evil sinister humanely disgraceful intelligent move of the whites well-known for their ugly divide and rule tactics through their non-white henchmen.

It's a shameful disgrace when the so called protectors of law turn into abusers of law themselves and throw the weight of their uniforms and law around as cowards. So, they and their henchmen, appear to be very law respecting on the outside; however, they network cowardly to commit sly acts of provocation to non-whites all the time, which is supposed to
be legally acceptable. Is watching through walls of non-whites homes, bugging their homes, working in networking syndicates against them, committing human rights and privacy violations against them, supposedly lawful for the whites? Who makes those laws that favor
only the whites? The law itself has racism in its clauses. The ugly inner dirt of the perpetuators of these evil deeds of racism do not deserve to step into religious institutions for their ugly deeds - such as, if you ain't white, you ain't right? Oh! Really? Nicely dressed, beautiful people, magnificient concrete jungles, clean roads and lawns, sweet polite talkers on the outside, full of ugly stench in their souls, that is the
cause of these racist policies that are outrightly biased against non-whites. What a shame!

Most of these ugly acts of dehumanizing racial profiling depict the cowardice of the doers of these deeds in the real sense, and are done at the behind the scenes insistence of the racially intolerant white cops through their frontline stooges. However, without physical evidence, the white cops, security, societies, and their henchmen are laughing sinisterly
at their heinous deeds and the legal system seems to support this evil through its inability to take action without physical evidence. Their racial profiling penetrates public transport systems, shops and stores to do all they can to make the non-whites feel unwelcome in their dehumanizing acts of racial profiling against non-whites and those who don't conform to their nonsense. The white cops, security, and white communities use their
henchmen who do just as they are told and from behind the safety cushion of their oil-guzzling, pollution creating, often dark-glassed vehicles to intimidate and harass non-whites in obnoxious racial profiling that reflects the immoral, despotic, and cowardly behaviour of racially intolerant white cops, security, communities and their dumb henchmen
who do just as they are told, fuelled as they are in their racial frenzy, thanks to the racially manipulative corporate controlled media.

For more information, visit:

http://www.yourluckytoday.blogspot.com

Volunteers are welcome to circulate this information to all they know to put an end to this abuse and violations of human rights committed by immorally misbehaved white cops, security, white communities, public transports, shops, stores, etc, and their dumb henchmen who do just as they are told in their racial frenzy.

Save this information on your computers before any cowards remove it from the websites.

Racism is immoral and dehumanizing behaviour that reflects the "incapable to perform humanely" quality of those who are racist and are being watched from God's court above in ways they cannot be expected to be capable to perceive yet.

It's a shame when obnoxious stench of racism comes from people in so called rich countries. It's even more of a shame when words are twisted by media to influence young minds with lies. It's even more of a shame when so called authorities perpetuate racism and behave racistly and enforce racist policies and behaviour through intimidating means amidst outer sweet and polite talks. Racism seems to be prominent among so called white people in rich countries who cannot bear non-whites from other countries of origin. Planet Earth belongs to people of Earth. Highly educated people of high intellectual calibres, rich bosses and CEOs, etc, of rich countries are a blotch on humanity and their material levels when they
haven't yet evolved to basic human concepts of all humans have red blood irrespective of race.

Racism stems from social attitudes that are perpetuated by racist societies, the media, the authoritarians, and the peers. It's time to say, shame on all those who perpetuate racism and racist attitudes.

Thank you.

A great DVD Player can make a long trip go by very easily, especially when flying. Often however, the movie you watch on the small screen at the front of your cabin is edited and interrupted by announcements from the crew about dinner. Have you ever considered taking a portable DVD player with you? With one of these and a good set of headphones, you can enjoy that action flick while everyone else is stuck hearing about the Grand Canyon. Check out our list of recommended features below to help you choose the best portable DVD player.

Dimensions A portable DVD player can end up feeling like a small brick to some, especially those which have large rechargeable batteries attached to them. While all players tend to run small, weight can vary by several pounds so make sure to check the side of the box before you buy.
Disc Formats Supported Besides playing standard DVD Players, many portable players today can double as CD players as well, eliminating the need to take one extra device on your trip. You should also consider seeing if your player can support CD-R,CD-RW or DVD-R as well, as these do-it-yourself disc formats are becoming popular amongst those who have burners at home.
Outputs One of the great things about portable DVD players is that they can substitute for regular size cousins on the fly when you need to plug into your home entertainment system. You will want to consider a player which has high quality outputs, such as S-Video for video and Optical Out for audio, so you can get the best quality playback possible.
Screen Many players today come with built-in screens, which make it the ultimate DVD Player entertainment device for the road. While screen size varies somewhat, larger is definitely better.

A Digital Picture Frame is a picture frame that displays digital photos without the need to print them or use a computer. The digital photo frames may also be able to display the photos in a TV set.
Sourcinggate.com reminds that Digital photo frames typically display the pictures directly from a camera's memory card, though certain frames also provide internal memory storage. Certain frames allow users to directly upload pictures to the frame's memory via a USB connection. However, few digital picture frames have built-in memory and due the high price of in-built memory this feature has been relatively expensive and the memory provided has been small.
Some of them also include a rechargable battery.
Most 7 inch (17.5cm) models show images at 430 x 234 pixels. The width of each landscape image is stretched to achieve an aspect ratio of 16:9, which results in very noticeable distortion.
Exactly,so many problems will be considered when you need to buy Digital Photo Frame,now,Sourcinggate.com will help you solve these problems. Welcome to log in http://www.sourcinggate.com/ to know more expertise about Digital Photo Frame.
