Even Sesame Street is now Incorrect
Our Leftist oppressors are determined to make kid’s education boring. “Keep ‘em ignorant” is their aim. Too much education might reveal things to kids that Leftists do not want them to know—such as the historic failure of socialism wherever it has been tried:
“SESAME Street is now brought to you by the letter P and the letter C – for political correctness, that is. The fun police have slapped an “adults only” warning on a new DVD of classic episodes, which featured a world in which children played in the street, a monster gorged on cookies and a bad-tempered puppet lived in a bin.No commentsThe episodes, made between 1969 and 1974, have been released in the US with the caution: “These early Sesame Street episodes are intended for grown-ups and may not suit the needs of today’s preschool child.” Topping the list of furry villains is the Cookie Monster, whose penchant for devouring cookies and the odd plate or two is no longer deemed appropriate behaviour for modern children.
His alter ego, Alistair Cookie, host of MonsterPiece Theatre, “modelled the wrong behaviour” by smoking a pipe and eating it, according to Sesame Street producer Carol-Lynn Parente. Back then, Big Bird’s bumbling friend Mr Snuffleupagus was still imaginary, which might encourage “delusion behaviour”. And trash-loving Oscar the Grouch has been targetted for his blatant bad manners and questionable hygiene.
More Google gaggle
I recently got an email from Google saying that their automatic spam detectors had detected my Marx blog as a spam blog and had blocked it from further postings. They also said that they intended to delete the blog within 20 days if I did not click a certain link. I clicked the link twice and twice I got a “task failure” response. A bit pesky! Anyway, I knew enough about the system to go to the blog itself and attempt to post something. I then got a link which enabled me to request removal of the block and the block was in fact removed a couple of days after that.
The thing that gets me, though, is why their software suddenly detected my blog after it had been up since 2004. And I had posted nothing on it since July so it was not fresh posts that they were monitoring. And it cannot have been the content of the blog that attracted automatic attention. The blog consists almost wholly of quotes from old Karl. Any algorithm that flagged that sort of content would have flagged half the Leftist blogs in the blogosphere!
The quotes from old Karl on the blog are however ones that Leftists would generally hate you to know about (showing what a racist he was, for instance). So I can only conclude that there was no automatic detection at all. It seems to me that the detection was by a Google employee who hoped to close down anything anti-Leftist. That’s not at all unexpected from Google. Sites that quote the bad bits in the Koran get a hard time from Google on occasions. Google can be quite evil sometimes.
And another odd thing is that a REAL spam blog—such as this one —Google will not touch, despite repeated requests from me to blogger.com that they delete it. It uses one of my old addresses.
