Canada bans importation on selected hentai titles

Huh... Canada bans imports of selected hentai titles. Certain titles expressly ruled "admissable".
Not sure what I think of that. I guess depending on the specific reasoning for banning the titles they did I can go with it. The wording makes it seem like it has to do more with what the sex is paired with, such as "crime, horror, cruelty and violence". I mean, if you check out the plot summary for one of the series they banned, you can really see why. I guess I'm also glad they're only banning importation, not owning.
Honestly, although I think the government has no business making laws concerning sex practices (except regarding minors and consentuality) or the sale of sex aids, I'm not sure what I think about pornographic material. I'm probably much more hesitant about live-action pornography, but even when it's animated, I can understand making laws restricting pornography regarding, again, minors and consentuality. Even then, if you showed me empirical evidence that that sort of thing reduces incident rates in real life, I'd probably be more supportive than ambivalent, but from what I've through the biased grapevine, that's not really the case. (Goodness knows I'm being a hypocrite here.)
I guess my main point is that I'm not completely up in arms about this decision.

On a random note, how does a hentai series such as this one get described as "slice of life"?!

Man, what a strange job it would be to have to view these titles with the purpose of deciding their admissability...

Gonna be talkin' lotsa Japaniiz this weekend.

I've been officially asked to come to the village weekend this weekend - yay!
Gotta go to bio lab at 8 am tomorrow - boo! (I'll make sure to go to bed early tonight.)
Wish me luck on my midterm. :)

FUCK THE U! NO, I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY U OF MN PASSWORD. IT TOOK ME LONG FUCKING ENOUGH TO MEMORIZE MY OLD PASSWORD. STOP TRYING TO DICTATE MY PASSWORD USE.
*FUMES IN VAIN*

HEART STATION album tracklist announced. :)

寝ちゃいけない？

*naps on my parents bed thinking about my lesson plan tomorrow and debating whether or not to put designing the lesson plan and preparing for my testl quiz until after a night's sleep*
*realizes i have to be at bio lab at 8 am tomorrow and that i need to prepare for that before sleeping*
*curses and drags my lazy, tired butt out of bed and upstairs*
Seriously, though, I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with ideas for tomorrow's lesson plan. :-/
There's more I wanna talk about, but I'm too busy right now. ^_^;
Oh yeah, dinner with ninja_hampster hampster_cowboy (because apparently I can't tell the difference between my friends' e-mail addresses and LJ usernames) was nice. Thanks for eating with me, Tasha. :)

Why do I always think the songs from The Tribe are being sung by Lex? For that matter, I often imagine the female voices in songs to be Ebony. (Ah, according to wiki, Meryl Cassie "has sung the lead vocals on two albums inspired by The Tribe". *misses The Tribe a bit, and considers starting to re-watch it soon*
(Okay, "This Is The Place" sounds a bit more like it could have sung by Bray.)
Holy... Apparently Michael Wesley-Smith has been admitted to the BAR? It seems like he's not a practicing lawyer, but still... Sugoi.
*snorts* It's Bray the Power Ranger! (The Mercury Ranger, apparently.) He looks so stupid there... I remember being a bit amused at getting to see a bit of Antonia Prebble (Trudy) in the western adaptation of Mahou Sentai MagiRanger, until I decided the show sucked too much and gave up. And no, I'm not saying MagiRanger was good, I'm just saying it had lots of qualities that made up for the inherent absurdity that are 99% of sentai shows. (Although I still say that Kamen Rider Hibiki was a wonderful series. On an interesting note, apparently the unsettling 180 that I vaguely remembering happening partway through the series was real.)

*hates attempting to figure out logistics*
