Hah!  Now that's a retort that I only wish I had come up with.  I think
that brilliant little piece of prose pretty much clears up any ambiguity
on the differences between sex and pornography.  Jojo is Dutch, so we can
understand and forgive his confusion <G>.

As for censorship:  no one is suggesting that anything be censored.  It's
simply a matter of the publishers taking responsibility for their content.
The porno ads are pretty low-class and out of place in a magazine with a
reputation like CGW.  The publishers should have more taste and common sense
than this.  I suppose it's up to us and the companies that advertise in CGW
(like C Systems) to let them know that we dissaprove.  If they don't get the
point, then they don't get the money.  Simple.  No big brother anywhere.
