For once, a judge who will know obscenity when he sees it..

In a bizarre revelation, the judge who is presiding over the Isaacs obscenity trial in Los Angeles was found to have sexually explicit material on a publicly-accessible website. Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledged that he had posted the materials, but says he believed the site to be for personal storage only, and not accessible to the public, though he does acknowledge sharing some of the material with friends.) The files included images of masturbation, public sex, contortionist sex, a transsexual striptease, a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows, and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. The latter two are especially ironic in that the trial involves the distribution of allegedly obscene sexual fetish videos depicting bestiality, among other things, by Ira Isaacs, an L.A. filmmaker."

Hopefully we'll get some new blood on the court of appeals out here

You know, two things about this.

First, why do all of these people feel the need to have pornographic material on their work/publically accessible computers. Do they need it that badly that they just can't wait to get home to enjoy, uh... whatever it is they enjoy?

That leads me to my second point, why does it seem that whenever someone is outed for having porn at work it's never just straight-up, old fashioned vanilla porn? It's always got to be kids, or animals, or women painted as cows, or some bizarre shit.

I guess the two have to be related. If you're so desperate for porn that you can't be away from it long enough to keep it from putting your job/career at risk, you've likely been churning through the fetishes so quickly that you've begun to delve into unseemly places.

I was just thinking the exact same two things- 1) why always the work computer and 2) why is it always the freaky stuff.

So does that mean I shouldn't keep porn on my laptop and just keep it on my usb drives and my personal computer?

In this day and age, why do people 'keep' porn at all? Seriously.

For those times when you don't have an internet connection.

As long as none of them involve Ginsberg, I'm ok with it.

I don't think he had it on his work computer, I think he uploaded stuff to his Flickr or Photobucket or something, and forgot to change the privacy settings.

Again, when would that be exactly? This is 2008, internet downtime should be pretty minimal. If someone can't go without their porn for a couple of hours here and there, that's scary.

I think that's right. But still, why the need to put those there? I guess in the article it says he wanted to share them with some friends. I have never felt the desire to "share" pron with any of my friends. It just doesn't seem like a communal thing really.

[Noop]

I admit I have share photo's with friends. Not videos though because that is gay, I wouldn't want my friends knowing what my piece looks like. However I go show em the photos I am able to take and what not.

I'm almost afraid to understand what Noop is saying
