Censors continue to cite "protecting children" as an excuse.

The latest asshole with an agenda: Bill Postmus, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for San Bernadino County, CA, who, upon getting an angry rant from half-wit resident and half-assed mother Cynthia Jones, decided to remove a book on the history of Manga to protect the poor sixteen-year-old boy who'd seen boobies for the first time in his life. The poor kid will now have to resort to second-hand VC Andrews novels and copies of Playboy bought on his behalf by the town drunk to learn about female anatomy.

Judging from the other politicians quoted, it's possible that the entire county of San Bernadino has a collective IQ of about eighty-three.

Slings and Arrows on DVD!

As uncovered by muse0fire:

Slings and Arrows Season 1 hits the shelves on June 27th!

Even in an era of astoundingly good TV (and in spite of phenomena like the reality show boom and Everybody Loves Raymond, we really do have more quality shows on the air than we know what to do with), Slings and Arrows is a fucking amazing show. If you've missed this show, get this DVD set. If you caught this show, you don't need to be told to get it; it's likely already on your wishlist.
