Earlier this week, I blogged about an event taking place in London today to protest the U.K.'s new regulations for online porn. The censorship-happy British government is attempting to ban a range of erotic acts from web porn depiction, including bondage, strangulation, female ejaculation, "water sports," and face-sitting. For more on the new regs, see here. For a glimpse of the scene in front of Parliament today, scroll on… 

Do yourself a favor and watch this one with the sound on: 

Sit-In:

First, they came for the squirters…

All I want for Christmas is…

Because you know it's in your head already anyway…

The stuff nightmares or dreams are made of? Different strokes for different folks…

  1. Injun, as in from India   12 years ago

    All is fair in progressivism and war.

  2. Old Man With Candy   12 years ago

    When I'm done with you, you ain't gonna be able to walk for a month!

    1. Pope Jimbo   12 years ago

      I had a gal tell me that she wanted me to eat her until her forehead caved in.

      1. Old Man With Candy   12 years ago

        We have a word for girls like that. "Keeper."

  3. Paul.   12 years ago

    This is an anomaly of bigger government, not a rule. Carry on.

  4. Heroic Mulatto   12 years ago

    My only thoughts on the subject.

    1. Pope Jimbo   12 years ago

      That is fucking awesome!

      Thanks HM, I intend to use this to offend several of my acquaintances today.

    2. Injun, as in from India   12 years ago

      LOL.

  5. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    With the exception of the first pic, why are they all sitting the wrong way?

    1. Heroic Mulatto   12 years ago

      You've never heard of salads and tossing?

      1. sarcasmic   12 years ago

        I've heard of a lot of things. Doesn't mean I want someone's asshole in my face.

        1. RBS   12 years ago

          All it takes is one fraternity brother walking in on you and you're getting texts almost 10 years later about that time you ate that girl's asshole.

          1. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

            I got confused!! It was dark and I was drunk.

            1. Old Man With Candy   12 years ago

              As long as it was a girl.

              1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

                Dark out and hammered hard? I'd be happy with just 'human'.

          2. BardMetal   12 years ago

            They're just jealous

      2. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

        Tossings aside, a tongue-tip in the sweet eye of a pretty girl's starfish makes for quite the delectable foreplay.

      3. Beezard   12 years ago

        I defer to Samuel Jackson: "I eat the pussy, the butt, every mother fuckin' thing."

    2. Apatheist ?_??   12 years ago

      There's no right direction if you know what you are doing.

      1. sarcasmic   12 years ago

        *farts in Apatheist's face*

        1. Eric Bana   12 years ago

          *farts in Apatheist's face*

          Some people are into that specifically. I am not, but I stumbled across a video once. (shudders)

          1. BardMetal   12 years ago

            Shudders??? That was some of the most hilarious stuff I've ever seen.

            1. Zeb   12 years ago

              Cake farts?

              1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

                Is this Zebisa Danger Cakes from cakefartcams.com.

              2. BardMetal   12 years ago

                Brazilian fart porn

    3. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

      There's only a wrong way if you're on acid, brah.

    4. BardMetal   12 years ago

      What the missionary position of facesitting? They all need a little more junk in the trunk anyways.

  6. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    If you want to get rid of the inevitable Monty Python earworm, try this

  7. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    First, they came for the squirters...

    You can't bring yourself to quote the sign correctly?

  8. The Immaculate Trouser   12 years ago

    Well, then. I'm sure this protest will be just as effective as it looks at attracting normal workaday people to support the protesters' aims.

    1. Zeb   12 years ago

      Normal, workaday people don't like porn?

  9. Eric Bana   12 years ago

    Why would they want to censor squirting again?

    1. AlmightyJB   12 years ago

      War on Women.

      1. BardMetal   12 years ago

        By the way how do the anti-porn feminists feel about say dominatrixs and facesitting and stuff? Seems to go contrary to the idea of porn being degrading towards women.

        1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

          Anti-porn feminists view dominatrixes and any woman in adult entertainment involving fetishes purely as pawns of misogyny. Nothing more, nothing less- so it all has to go.

  10. Libertymike   12 years ago

    Then they came for the buttplug and I demanded to know, "what the fuck took you so long?"

  11. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

    You aren't a true man until you've been practically asphyxiated with pussy lips.

    It is time to call into question the manliness of the Brits.

    1. BardMetal   12 years ago

      It's like an extremely erotic test of human endurance.

      1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

        ...and then she grabs your fucking hair with her tits swelling between her muscular arms, nipples hard as bullets, and jams your dying red face deep into her round butt with all its rewards oozing the ripe and victorious musks of her female power.

        Been there... do this. Love it!

        1. BardMetal   12 years ago

          Now I want to hear the rest of the story.

          1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

            She pees in my mouth and then I fuck her tied up ass until she screams for her Chicago boy toy to come save her. Restraint bondage tape works better than I would have ever expected. I always keep a roll or two around when the day or night feels corrupt and lovely.

            1. Eric Bana   12 years ago

              I need to go pray...

              1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

                Ask Jesus if he jizzed and how often and get back to me, Bana. Thanks, brah. Just curious is all.

  12. Papaduke   12 years ago

    Politicians have come out but are only interesting in giving lip service to the protesters... Thank you I'll be here all week.

  13. Kaptious Kristen   12 years ago

    I love protests, but I always seem to hate the people doing them. I mean, would you look at those fucking hipsters??

    1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

      Your hate is innocuous. However, this cannot be said about the British government and their state-sponsored rejection of adult sexual freedom.

    2. lap83   12 years ago

      There's a reason that hateable people always engage in protests. It's about attention-seeking, not improvement.

      1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

        It would be an abject shame if this law wasn't protested causing attention paid to its utter foolishness. Improvement to governance often comes about as a result of increased attention.

    3. BardMetal   12 years ago

      Is there an ironic way to facesit?

    4. croaker   12 years ago

      I'll bet you were cheering when you learned that furry convention was attacked with a chemical WMD last week.

  14. BardMetal   12 years ago

    I think I'm going to type some of these comments into cleverbot. Yes I am that bored today.

    1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

      Cleverbot and Bardmetal gettin' some spice on!

  15. ronaldbarrkem   12 years ago

    I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions most people aren't aware of the almost I unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites the site that has the best deals is.....
    BEST HOME BASE GIFT-------- http://snipr.com/29inp5v

  16. JBSparks   12 years ago

    Poor souls. They'll never know how special sex can be.

    1. Agile Cyborg   12 years ago

      True words, bro. True words.

  17. juris imprudent   12 years ago

    I can understand why the govt wouldn't want people sitting on someone's face - there's no place for the boot.

  18. CN_Foundation   12 years ago

    The UK was misguided in their first attempt to regulate wire communications but at least they made a first attempt.

    Neeley v 5 FCC Commissioners, et al,(14-cv-5135)(14-3447) includes the US Attorney General, Google Inc, and Microsoft Corporation.

    The pending complaint demands the FCC be ordered to regulate wire communications* as a common carrier* telecommunications carrier service as follows from 47 USC 153.

    1. CN_Foundation   12 years ago

      ================ ============= ============ ========== =============
      (11) Common carrier
      The term "common carrier" or "carrier" means any person engaged as a common carrier for hire, in interstate or foreign communication by wire or radio or interstate or foreign radio transmission of energy, except where reference is made to common carriers not subject to this chapter; but a person engaged in radio broadcasting shall not, insofar as such person is so engaged, be deemed a common carrier.

      (51) Telecommunications carrier
      The term "telecommunications carrier" means any provider of telecommunications services, except that such term does not include aggregators of telecommunications services (as defined in section 226 of this title). A telecommunications carrier shall be treated as a common carrier under this chapter only to the extent that it is engaged in providing telecommunications services, except that the Commission shall determine whether the provision of fixed and mobile satellite service shall be treated as common carriage.

      1. CN_Foundation   12 years ago

        (59) Wire communication
        The term "wire communication" or "communication by wire" means the transmission of writing, signs, signals, pictures, and sounds of all kinds by aid of wire, cable, or other like connection between the points of origin and reception of such transmission, including all instrumentalities, facilities, apparatus, and services (among other things, the receipt, forwarding, and delivery of communications) incidental to such transmission.
        ============== ================== ============ ================= =======

        The pending complaint also seeks punitive civil damages for organized criminal violations of 18 USC 2511, Ark. Code Ann 5-41-103, and failure to prohibit these organized criminal conspiracies by the FCC and attorney general. Google Inc reports spending almost half-a-million already in legal fees ALONE. Google Inc offered me 5-million if I would drop this case. I refused this already and called it the insult to all of humanity and this would still be the case.

        1. CN_Foundation   12 years ago

          I will need to modify the claim a tiny bit that is pending now before the Eighth Circuit for Summary Justice. The tiny alteration to the prayer can be done with a letter to the court.

          The FCC is clinging to the past and trying to hide behind abuses of the English
          language. Walkie-talkies, two-way radios, and satellite communications are the ONLY wireless communications. Communications further than a few hundred miles on earth requires WIRES whether known as "wireless" or not.

          Adults must control their own children accessing "e-mail" regardless of how this is done. This will allow honorable authentication to completely be effective prevention of ALL indecent communications. By this time next year the FCC and America's Courts will have been made to understand this is how wire communications can change and finally allow world-wide communications like once alleged in 1997.

          Execution via asphyxiation caused by face-sitting done by the victim or performed by a correctional officer of choice should become a punishment for rape that saves money and lets the victim finally 'feel' or see justice being done.
