2007-02-22 In which I feel inclined to dust off my soapbox again� I read this article in the Metro this morning: Telus says it will stop selling porn Notice how it was the customers� threats of service cancellation that made the difference, not the fact that pornography is degrading to women and a responsible phone company would not be supporting that industry. That article made me a little disgusted, but when I read this in the Toronto Star, I just couldn�t believe it: Telus director of media relations Jim Johannsson said the adult content wasn't hard-core pornography. The content was "basically nudity,'' and "there was basically no sex." Seriously? Dear Mr. Director-of-Media-Relations, Because let�s face it: Your Company? It was basically degrading women to gain market share. And you? If you think that�s ok, then you�re basically an ass.
